Abstract
Analysis of genetically modified soya seeds imported in the Republic of
Armenia, indicated the presence of 11 species of fungal contaminants belonging
to the genera Asperegillus, Penicillium, Stemphylium and Fusarium. The
most specific diversity of contaminants has been exhibited in the samples from
the USA and Canada (7 species) and from Spain (5 species). Mycotoxins were
detected in 4 seed samples out of 12 studied with amounts exceeding the allowed
concentration: aflatoxin B1- 15 µg/kg, zearalenon-2000 µg/kg. Similarly in 3 out
5 samples of soya flour imported from Spain, aflatoxin B1 was detected at
concentration of 20, 30 and 50 µg/kg, respectively and in one sample
sterigmatosistin at150 µgkg
