Development of a Novel, Simultaneous Determination Method for Heterocyclic Amines and Mycotoxins in Fried Food by UPLC-MS/MS Combined With QuEChERS. [PDF]
Food Sci Nutr• A novel QuEChERS‐UPLC‐MS/MS method was successfully developed for the simultaneous determination of two β‐carboline heterocyclic amines and seven mycotoxins in fried foods. ABSTRACT Dietary exposure to both processing contaminants and natural toxins in fried foods poses a potential health risk, but analytical methods for their simultaneous monitoring
