Analytical methods are described for detection of the Alternaria mycotoxins alternariol (AOH), alternariol monomethyl ether (AME), altenuene (ALT) and tenuazonic acid (TeA) in natural and semisynthetic laboratory cultures. After extraction and purification of the crude extract by column chromatography on silica gel the qualitative and quantitative analyses were carried out by thin layer (TLC)- and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). HPLC separations were achieved using a Hypersil ODS column with methanol/water containing a complexing agent as eluent. Detection at 340 nm (AOH, AME, ALT) and 280 nm (TeA), respectively, has proved to be favourably. AME and TeA were produced in high purity and high yields as standard substances by two Alternaria strains. The identity of the toxins could be confirmed by EI-, CI- and FAB-mass spectrometry.

fungal species are considered major plant pathogens, infecting various crops and resulting in significant agricultural losses. Additionally, these species can contaminate grain with multiple mycotoxins that are harmful to humans and animals. Efficient pest management relies on timely detection and identification of phytopathogens in plant and grain samples, facilitating prompt selection of a crop protection strategy.

The contamination of Alternaria toxins poses a potential risk to human health. This study developed a rapid, efficient, and environmentally friendly method for the simultaneous determination of five types of Alternaria toxins in wheat using high-precision and stable isotope liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. The comparison between dilution method and solid-phase extraction method shows that the former achieves satisfactory results with a simple and convenient sample purification method.
