Zearalenone, also known as mycotoxin F2, or (3S,11E)-14,16-dihydroxy-3-methyl-3,4,5,6,9,10-hexahydro-lH-2-benzoxacyclo-tetradecine-l,7(8H)-dione (12-109), is another toxicologicaUy significant secondary metabolite of filamentous fungi of the genus Fusarium. The major producers of zearalenone are fungi F. culmorum, F. graminearum, F. cerealis, F. equiseti and F. semitectum. Zearalenone is found mostly in cereals, especially in maize, but often also in wheat, barley and oats and sometimes in...
