| Description | A novel method for the simultaneous determination of the trichothecene mycotoxins deoxynivalenol (DON), nivalenol (NIV), 3-acetyl-deoxynivalenol (3-ADON), and 15-acetyl-deoxynivalenol (15-ADON) in barley and malt extracts has been developed using MALDI TOF MS. This technique enables highly sensitive and fast analysis and/or detection using very small samples. In this work several matrices were examined and the most suitable ones were identified. Statistical analysis was carried out to verify the ability of the system to determine the mycotoxins in a real sample. This work opens up the possibility of very sensitive determination of the selected mycotoxins in barley, malt, cereals and food. |
