Fungal volatile metabolites can be used as an indicator of mycotoxins occurrence in cereals. A rapid, easy-to-perform and non-invasive method using an electronic nose based on metal oxide sensors was developed to distinguish the quality of durum wheat samples in three classes based on the content of the mycotoxin deoxynivalenol (DON): class A ([DON]聽<聽1000聽渭g/kg), class B (1000聽鈮ぢ燵DON]聽鈮ぢ?500聽渭g/kg;) and class C ([DON]聽>聽2500聽渭g/kg). Two different approaches were tested by performing 525 analyses of naturally contaminated durum wheat either on whole and ground kernels. Discriminant Function Analysis (DFA) provided calibration models that permitted to classify wheat samples with mean recognition percentages (R) for whole and ground kernels of 69.3% and 86.7%, respectively. Samples belonging to class A were better recognized than those belonging to classes B and C. The e-nose method applied to the analysis of ground wheat showed highest mean recognition percentage (R聽=聽82.1%) in validation. By considering data with recognition percentage rate (R_r) higher than 80% in validation, performances of this method were further improved in terms of either mean recognition percentage (R聽=聽90.1%) and percentage of misclassified samples (4%). An SPME-GC-MS method was also developed that allowed to characterize the pattern of volatile compounds of durum wheat samples. A positive (trichodiene, longifolene, 3-methyl butanal, tridecane, 纬-caprolactone, 6,10,14-trimethyl-2-pentadecanone) or negative (hexadecane, 2,3,7-trimethyl-decane, 4,6-dimethyl-dodecane) association with DON content was observed. These results confirm that the developed e-nose method could be used as useful tool for high throughput screening of DON contamination in durum wheat.
