Extraction and detection of mycotoxins in medicinal and aromatic plants: a case study with Aloysia citrodora P. In International Conference on Food Contaminants: challenges in chemical mixtures. Lisboa.http://hdl.handle.net/10198/17158Plants 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.engconference poster
