Chemical analysis of hair samples may also provide a method for examining chronic mycotoxin exposures. In 2003, Sewram et al. (2003) reported that human hair testing could be used to detect fumonisins. After extraction and clean up, high performance liquid chromatography coupled to electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-MS) was able to detect fumonisin Bi, fumonisin B2, and fumonisin B3 from human hair samples (Sewram et al., 2003). However, these were...

Several recent scientific studies have been concerned with the application of high-performance liquid chromatography for the analysis of direct dyes in semipermanent hair coloring products primarily for quality control purposes [37, 42]. This technique has been used successfully for the complete separation of 18 dyes in a standard mixture and also for the separation and analysis of these dyes in eight commercial hair color products.
