Abstract

The method for ochratoxin A determination in cereals (wheat, rye) was described. Application of immunoaffinity columns (IAC) for clean-up of extracts was investigated. The ochratoxin A content was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography using C18 column and fluorimetric detection at 330 nm (excitation) and 460 nm (emission). The mean recovery of ochratoxin A was 65-78%. The limits of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ) were 0.015 and 0.025 microg/kg, respectively. The positive results were confirmed by reaction with BF3 complex in methanol.
