| Abstract | ||||
| Wheat is comprised the most important grain and single largest crop by area in Egypt. Despite this fact, Egypt is heavily dependent on imports wheat to meet its consumption needs. The objective of the present study was to determine some mycotoxins (aflatoxin B1, total B1, B2, G1, and G2, ochratoxin A (OTA), deoxynivalenol (DON) and zearalenone (ZON)) in wheat grains imported from four countries (France, Romania, Russia and Ukraine). The tested five samples were obtained from batches imported ate five different times of the year. The results showed that Ukrainian wheat was the beast which contained the least mycotoxins values. Total B1, B2, G1 and G2 of Ukrainian wheat ranged from 0.767 to 1.60 µg.kg-1, while OTA, DON and ZON were ranged from 0.50 to 1.367, 48.90 to 222.33 and 40.47 to 67.17 μg.kg-1, respectively. | ||||
