title: Detection of zearalenone in cereal extracts using high-performance liquid chromatography with post-column derivatization.
abstract: Post-column derivatization has been used to enhance the fluorescence response of the Fusarium mycotoxins zearalenone and zearalenol when determined by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. Derivatization is based on reaction with aluminum chloride and this results in a more selective response for these toxins. The method was tested on a number of cereals and animal feeds.
