Durum wheat is a cereal with high range of vitamins, minerals and other nutritional compounds
which are important in human nutrition. Durum wheat selection programs in Serbia are smaller in
scope compared to bread wheat, but this does not diminish their importance. Good grain quality
is essential for the grinding and food industry. Therefore, it is important that durum wheat is safe
to consume. Fumonisins are mycotoxins synthesized mainly by fungi of the genus Fusarium.
These toxins occur usually in maize and maize products, although their presence has also been
reported in other cereals such as wheat and barley. In a five years period, 2015-2019, durum
wheat samples were tested for the presence of fumonisin. Samples were collected from different
plots in the Zemun Polje. Each year, 10 randomly selected durum wheat grain samples were
tested. The grains were dried, ground and analyzed for the presence of fumonisin. The analysis
was performed by ELISA (Enzyme-linked immunosorbe...nt assay) using a kit for fumonisin,
Tecna, Italy. The highest concentrations of fumonisin were recorded in 2016 when the values
ranged 30.602-43.930 ppm. Medium concentrations (8.872-18.477 ppm) of synthesized
fumonisin were recorded in 2015, while in other years (2017, 2018 and 2019) fumonisins were
observed in low concentrations (0.024-6.124 ppm). Since previous analyzes have shown that
fumonisins are present in durum wheat every year, it is necessary to continue monitoring their
appearance in durum wheat, as well as in other small grains.
