  abstract = {{O}chratoxin {A} ({OTA}) in coffee is associated with serious health problems and significant economic loss. {T}he state of {C}hiapas is the top coffee producer in {M}exico, accounting for 41.3% of the national production, and the second largest organic coffee-producing area worldwide. {D}ue to the lack of information about the {OTA} content in {C}hiapas coffee, 100 coffee samples from {C}hiapas were collected and classified according to their variety, type (roasted or nonroasted), processing and cultivation, in the 2017/2018 cycle. {T}he average {OTA} concentration in 97 of the analyzed samples was 0.41 ?g/kg. {OTA} was not detected in 52% of the samples; in 45% of the samples, the concentration ranged between 0.05 and 3.4 ?g/kg, below the limit of {E}uropean regulations (<5 ?g/kg), and in only 3% of the samples did the {OTA} values exceed the {E}uropean regulations. {T}he statistical analysis revealed that the prevalence of {OTA} depends on the variety, type, and processing (p ? 0.05). {N}o significant differences were observed between organic and conventionally cultivated coffee. {I}n instant coffee (produced domestically), the average {OTA} concentration in 14 samples was 0.93 ?g/kg. {T}he probability of finding {OTA} in instant coffee is higher than that in {C}hiapas coffee. {T}hese results suggest that the prevalence of {OTA} in coffee from {C}hiapas is low and that it is less likely to be found in wet-processed, roasted, arabica coffee.},
