n.r.: not reported; LOD: limit of detection; N: number of samples; DON: deoxynivalenol; Ac: acetyl.

Values in brackets were calculated values by the CONTAM Panel based on the data provided in the papers.

a

Mean values of all samples are calculated by setting samples in which the compounds were not detected to 0 and trace value below LOQ to LOD.

b

It was not reported in the paper whether the mean was calculated for all samples or for positive samples only.

c

Exact origin not indicated.
