About fumonisin, it includes the toxicity, sources and analysis method to detect the toxin: http://www.inchem.org/documents/ehc/ehc/ehc219.htm#SectionNumber:2.3
HPLC
10:31 PM
High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is a form of liquid chromatography to separate compounds that are dissolved in solution. HPLC instruments consist of a reservoir of mobile phase, a pump, an injector, a separation column, and a detector. Compounds are separated by injecting a plug of the sample mixture onto the column. The different components in the mixture pass through the column at different rates due to differences in their partitioning behavior between the mobile liquid phase and the stationary phase.
