Comparison of Capillary Electrophoresis and HPLC-Based Methods in the Monitoring of Moniliformin in Maize

Over the past few decades, scientific interest in mycotoxins—fungal metabolites that pose serious concern to food safety, crop health, and both human and animal health—has increased. While major mycotoxins such as aflatoxins, ochratoxins, deoxynivalenol, fu- monisins, zearalenone, citrinin, patulin, and ergot alkaloids are well studied, emerging mycotoxins remain underexplored and insufficiently investigated. Among these, monili- formin (MON) is frequently detected in maize-based food and...
