Conclusion
HPLC is the only physico-chemical method for the analysis of trichothecenes for which no derivatization is necessary. Hence a combination of different methods can be performed. For exclusion of any faulty interpretation of data and in order to decrease the detection limit HPLC should be followed by GC.
