Abstract

Fusarium, Trichoderma, Stachybotrys and other fungal species are plant pathogens usually associated with cereals, which under certain environmental conditions can produce several secondary toxic metabolites. The major toxins found in cereals and cereal-based products such as deoxynivalenol, zearalenone, T-2 toxin and HT-2 toxin can be harmful to human and animal health. Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC MS/MS) is a rapid and sensitive analytical method used for the detection of mycotoxins in vegetal products (cereals and cereal-based products). Here, we report the validation parameters of the LC MS/MS method, for the simultaneous quantitative assay of deoxynivalenol, zearalenone, T-2 toxin and HT-2 toxin accordingly to European Legislations concerning the maximal permitted levels and detection methods for mycotoxins.

Keywords: liquid chromatography; mass spectrometry; deoxynivalenol; zearalenone; T-2 toxin and HT-2 toxin
