Plant Toxicity and Pharmacological Properties

A liquid chromatography–mass spectrometric method was developed and validated to determine Fusarium mycotoxins beauvericin and enniatins (A, A1, B, B1) in grain samples. For the first time, a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer with multiple reaction monitoring was used for the analysis of these mycotoxins, which allowed the simultaneous structural identification of the analytes. The sample preparation involved direct purification of sample extracts with reversed‐phase–solid phase extraction, enabling the avoidance of time consuming and loss‐causing liquid–liquid extractions.
