Results Among the 182 samples of wheat flour in 9 regions, 4 kinds of alternaria toxins were all detected.The detection rate of alternariol (AOH) was 10.4%(19/182)with concentration range from 0.50 to 14.21 μg/kg; the detection rate of alternariol methyl ether (AME) was 42.9%(78/182) with concentration range from 0.05 to 38.73 μg/kg; the detection rate of tenuazonic acid (TeA) was 91.2%(166/182) with concentration range from 0.50 to 134.23 μg/kg and the detection rate of tentoxin (TEN) was 45.6%(83/182) with concentration range from 0.05 to 17.42 μg/kg.
