J. AOAC Int. 77, 1179-1183 (1994). TLC of fusarochromanone on silica with chloroform - methanol - NH3 45:5:1 or 40:10:1. Detection under UV 254 (limit 5 ng) of UV 366 nm (Detection limit 3 ng). Fusarochromanone gives a positive (turns pink) ninhydrin reaction; it turns yellow-green when sprayed with either 20% sulfuric acid in methanol or p-anisaldehyde solution. Detection limit of these 3 colorimetric reagents is 250 ng. Fusarochromanone is relatively unstable when exposed to fluorescent light; standards should be stored in the dark in the freezer.

J. Chromatogr. A 815, 75-92 (1998). A review with 135 references on TLC, HPLC and other methods for monitoring studies of ochratoxin A in food chain and for studies dealing with the OA carryover, including sampling, sample storage, extraction, spiking procedures, clean-up, detection, determination and confirmation.

J. Planar Chromatogr. 13, 328-332 (2000). OPLC of aflatoxin B1, B2, G1 and G2 on silica gel (TLC and HPTLC plates) with chloroform - toluene - tetrahydrofuran 15:15:1. Quantitation of aflatoxins by densitometry at 365/>436 nm. The validation procedure includes tests on specificity and determination of the retention factor, resolution, asymmetry, linearity, accuracy, precision, detection limit, and quantitation limit of the method according to ICH III/5626/94. The robustness of the procedure was also determined and found to be critically dependent on the type of plate used (TLC or HPTLC).

J. Braz. Chem. Soc. 21, 441-446 (2010). HPTLC of ochratoxin A in wine on silica gel with toluene - ethyl acetate - chloroform - formic acid 6:3:1. Quantitative determination by absorbance measurement at 366 nm, using a CCD camera followed by images processing using the software ImageJ. Linearity was between 0.8 and 32 µg/L. The intra-day and inter-day precisions had a RSD lower than 9.9 % and 11.5 %, respectively. LOD was 16 ng/zone while LOQ was 100 ng/zone. The proposed method is a simple, efficient and low cost tool for quantitative analysis of ochratoxin A in wine samples.

Experentia 41, 769-771 (1985). Fungal toxins (orellanine, orellinine) extracted with methanol from cortinarius orellamus and other species and their photodecompositon (UV) products are separated on silica with cyclohexane - ethyl acetate 3:1 and visualized by Fe2+ or Fe3+ reagents. Also 2-dimensional technique.

TLC of aflatoxin M1 on silica with a) ether - methanol - water 95:4:1, b) toluene - ethyl acetate - formic acid 50:45:5 and c) toluene - ethyl acetate - chloroform - formic acid 40:50:10:5. Detection by viewing under UV 366 nm or by spraying with sulfuric acid - water 1:3. Quantification by visual comparison with standards. Detection limit 0.5 mg/kg.
