Abstract

The basic methods of identification of trichothecene toxins are described in the review including biomethods, thin layer chromatography, high performance liquid chromatography, immuno-enzyme assay (ELISA), gas-liquid chromatography, mass spectrometry. The future trends of development of the instrumental methods based on new technological decisions are briefly discussed regarding mycotoxins determination.
