MYCOTOXIN DETERMINATION IN FOODS FOR VERY YOUNG CHILDREN

Development of highly-sensitive methods for detection of mycotoxins (aflatoxin B1, deoxynivalenol, fumonisin B1, ochratoxin A, patulin, and zearalenone) in foods consumed by very young children. Utilize sensitive, analytical methods for detection of aflatoxin B1, deoxynivalenol, fumonisin B1, ochratoxin A, patulin, and zearalenone in high-value foods for very young children where the mycotoxins have traditionally been found only in trace amounts.
