Sm. Monti et al., Simultaneous determination of beauvericin, enniatins, and fusaproliferin by high performance liquid chromatography, J AGR FOOD, 48(8), 2000, pp. 3317-3320
A rapid, sensitive and inexpensive HPLC method for routine screening ofbeau
vericin, fusaproliferin, and enniatin B-1, A(1), and B has been optimized.
Detection limits were determined, ranging between 0.5 and 3.6 ng according
to the compound obtained after spiking samples with each mycotoxin at 10-56
mu g/mL concentration range; recoveries averaging from 56 to 74% were obta
ined. LC-MS conditions for enniatin analyses by API electrospray technique
were set up, this allowing a unique identification of three different ennia
tins.
