Abstract:
Growing consumption of beer in present diet may lead to higher risk of piling up of ochratoxin A. In our studies we evaluated malt and beer from the local Pomeranian brewery which offers its products at the market in the lowest price. The evaluation had been conducted for 3 months during winter time and the content of fungi, OTA and ergosterol had been analyzed.High concentration of ergosterol was found in all the malt samples, whereas ochratoxin A was present in one delivery of the product only. In contrast, in 70% beer samples low concentration of OTA was found.
