Assessment of quantitative methods for determination of trichothecenes in grains and grain products
Abstract
Currently available methods for determination of trichothecenes are evaluated primarily for accuracy, precision, and limits of detection. A few of the more accurate and sensitive methods are discussed further with respect to convenience and number of trichothecenes determined. The best technique to date for quantitating trichothecenes is gas-liquid chromatography with electron capture or mass spectrometric detection, subject to available instrumentation.
