Abstract
The field desorption mass spectra of a variety of mycotoxins have been studied. These include the 4 aflatoxins B1, B2, G1; and G2, rubratoxin B, T-2 toxin, and zearalenone, as well as mixtures of these mycotoxins. The spectra of all of the mycotoxins exhibited molecular ions [M]+. Under the conditions employed, only rubratoxin B exhibited major fragmentation. The field desorption technique has been applied to the analysis of both spiked and naturally contaminated extracts of foodstuffs. The potential of the method as an analytical screening technique for the presence of mycotoxins has been evaluated.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
