Corn-based foods followed by fumonisin B2 (FB2).The problems and risks associated with fumonisin contamination have resulted in the development of precise, reliable and sensitive methods for its determination in corn and corn-based foods (Magan Olsen, 2004, as cited in Silva et al., 2009). Therefore, the quality parameters in the analysis of FBI and FB2 in corn-based products obtained with LC with fluorescence detector have been investigated (Silva et al, 2009). Furthermore, a comparison study between fluorescence detector (FD), mass spectrometry, and tandem mass spectrometry with a triple quadrupole (QqQ) analyzer using an electrospray ionization interface for the determination of fumonisin B1 and B2 in corn-based products has been performed. A comparative study of the three LC detectors, FD, single quadrupole, QqQ for the analysis of fumonisins in corn samples has been performed. The response achieved by the three detectors was sensitive enough to study the maximum contents established by the EU legislation. These LC detectors would be appropriate for quantification purposes but the acquisition of at least two transitions achieved with QqQ provided a univocal identification.
