TL;DR: The method was not affected by slight variations of some critical factors as pre-treatment and clean-up of milk samples, thermal treatment and different storage conditions, as well as by major changes valued in terms of milk produced by different species.

TL;DR: In this paper, histamine content was tested on 311 samples of fresh fish and fish products collected in Puglia (Italy) in the years 2009-2011, employing ELISA for screening and HPLC to confirm suspicious non-compliant samples according to Commission Regulation (EC) 1441/2007.

TL;DR: The method, based on high-performance liquid chromatography and fluorescence detection, presents a rapid and automated on-line post-column derivatization, performed with o-phtalaldehyde and N,N-dimethyl-2-mercaptoethylamine, for quantitative determination of fumonisins B(1) and B(2) in maize-based foods for direct human consumption.

TL;DR: In this paper, a sensitive and selective analytical method for the simultaneous separation and quantitative determination of aflatoxins B1, B2, G1 and G2 in foodstuffs and materials for feed has been validated.

TL;DR: The procedure for the determination of aflatoxins in food samples and cereals for animal consumption was extensively validated following Regulation (EC) No. 882/2004 and satisfies the necessary requirements for sensitivity, linearity, selectivity, precision and ruggedness.
