In the present study an analytical method for the determination of the mycotoxin zearalenone was developed by coupling alternative extraction techniques (MAE; PLE) and highly sophisticated detection technique, such as LC-MS. A part from providing higher recoveries, this permits to reduce the time required for the extraction, to automate the process and to reduce the use of organic solvent. By taking adequate precautions, which allows to overcome the matrix effect, it is possible to analyse raw extract directly into LC-MS avoiding losses of the target analyte during the clean-up step.
