Abstract:
A method is described for the detection of the Fusarium mycotoxin beauvericin (BEA) in corn and corn meal. Spectral data obtained with a diode-array detector showed that the most sensitive wavelength for the detection of BEA is 192 nm. The detection limit for BEA was 50 micrograms/kg, which is an increase in sensitivity by a factor of at least twenty compared to previously published analytical methods for this mycotoxin.
