Abstract
A quick and reliable method is described for the determination of tric hothecene mycotoxins employing gas chromatography with electron captur e detection. Using the Mycosep(R) multifunctional clean-up columns the clean-up procedure is reduced to a 1-step extract purification, thus saving considerable time in comparison with classical clean-up methods , without sacrificing the purity of the extract. The method was tested and validated for five trichothecenes (deoxynivalenol, nivalenol, 3-a cetyl-deoxynivalenol, 15-acetyl-deoxynivalenol and fusarenon X). In ad dition, the performance of this new clean-up technique was compared wi th an already well established method.
