Determination of Pesticides and Mycotoxins in Malt, Brewers’ Spent Grain, and Beer Using a Dilute-and-Shoot Procedure and HPLC-MS/MS

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Chemical Food Contaminants Analysis

Abstract

Residues of pesticides and mycotoxins in food and beverages can pose health risks to consumers, emphasizing the importance of their monitoring, as recommended by regulatory agencies. In this chapter, we will detail a dilute-and-shoot sample preparation procedure for beer and associated matrices. Furthermore, we will provide information on chromatographic and spectrometric conditions for the quantification of 244 pesticides and 7 mycotoxins.
