  • Title: Method for analysis dried vine fruits contaminated with ochratoxin A.
    Author: Galvis-Sánchez AC, Barros AS, Delgadillo I.
    Journal: Anal Chim Acta; 2008 Jun 09; 617(1-2):59-63. PubMed ID: 18486641.
    Abstract:
    The EU maximum limit of 10 microg kg(-1) of OTA for dried vine fruits has been established since 2002 (European Commission, 2005). The presented work explore the capability of using Fourier infrared spectroscopy attenuated total reflection (FTIR-ATR) for the detection of ochratoxin A (OTA) in dried vine fruits in a range of concentration between 2 and 50 microg kg(-1) OTA. The method developed included a sample pretreatment using a C18 cartridge which was efficient for the isolation of the mycotoxin. The PLS1 analysis of the spectrum of sultanas spiked with different OTA concentrations showed a good correlation between the spectral data and reference concentration for OTA (R(2)=0.85).
