Extraction and detection of mycotoxins in medicinal and aromatic plants: a case study with Aloysia citrodora P
Conference Paper
Overview
Overview
abstract
Plants frequently suffer contaminations by toxigenic fungi, and their mycotoxins can be
produced throughout growth, harvest, drying and storage periods. The objective of this
work was to validate a method for detection of toxins in medicinal and aromatic plants,
through a fast and highly sensitive method, optimizing the joint co-extraction of aflatoxins
(AF: AFB1, AFB2, AFG1 and AFG2) and ochratoxin A (OTA) by using Aloysia citrodora P. as a
case study.
