HPLC determination of ochratoxin A in high consumption Tunisian foods

Ochratoxin A in dried figs, raisings, apricots, dates on Iranian retail market

“…Liquid chromatography linked to fluorescence detection (HPLC/FD) was extensively used for OTA confirmatory analysis [13]. However, immunological methods are preferred to chromatographic methods in routine and survey work.…”

Natural Incidence of Aflatoxins and Ochratoxin A Nuts Collected from Local Market in Tripoli

“…Living in areas where Balkan endemic nephropathy occurs, and it is sµggested to be a possible determinant of this fatal human disease (Hult et al, 1982). It has also been extensively documented as a contaminant of a wide variety of foods including cereals, green coffee, spices, nuts, dried fruits, beer, wine, grapes, and grape juice (Ghali et al, 2009). Many countries and international organizations have regulated the OTA content in several commodities.…”

Sampling Techniques for the Determination of Mycotoxins in Food Matrices

“…156 In any case, nowadays, methanol/water or acetonitrile/water mixtures are much more common, also in combination with innovative multifunctional cleanup column (filled with mixture of different sorbents) such as the Mycosep 229 Ochra, Multisep 229 Ochra, and Mycosep 229 AflaZen from Romer Labs 157,158 eventually coupled to innovative analytical MS spectrometry methods. 159,160 In any case, the use of immunoaffinity cleanup is widely applied: [161][162][163][164] different types of IACs available on the market have been used such as Aflaprep and Ochraprep from Rhone (Rhone Diagnostic Technologies Ltd., Glasgow, UK), OchraTest from Vicam (Vicam, Watertown, MA, USA), or Aflaclean from LCTech GmbH (LCTech GmbH, Dorfen, Germany). OTA and AFs were also simultaneously determined using a fully automated cleanup-liquid chromatography-fluorescence detection method.…”
