Keynote: Advanced MS-methods to study toxic secondary metabolites in food crops

摘要

This paper summarizes trends and amazing new findings in the area of multi-toxin testing of food and feed using latest state-of-the-art MS-methods and stable isotope labelling assisted metabolomics. The discovery of a novel masked mycotoxin (ZEN-16-glucoside) and of the glutathione-mediated detoxification products of the Fusarium toxin DON demonstrated the power of the employed MS-based approach to identify novel metabolites in food crops.
