مستخلص المنشور

A broad range of detection techniques used for practical analysis and detection of aflatoxins are available. This chapter highlighted some recent developments and new techniques about aflatoxins analysis in food via UPLC/MS. As shown, though there have been several recent successes in detection of aflatoxins, new methods are still required to achieve higher sensitivity and address other challenges that are posed by these toxins.
UPLC provides an efficient, fast, and high-resolution separation, and the application of MS in conjunction with other tools for decreasing limits of detection has been of increased interest in recent times. Future trends will focus on rapid assays and tools that would measure multiple toxins from a single matrix. Since matrix interferences were detected during the UHPLC–MS/MS analysis of the sample extracts, additional analyte identification suitable for extensive multianalyte methods needs to be investigated.
