This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of fumonisin BI (FBI) and fumonisin B2 (FB2) in
maize using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
The method has been successfully validated in an interlaboratory study according to AOAC Guidelines for
Collaborative Studies [ I ] on maize containing 405 pg/kg to 6732 pg/kg fumonisin BI and 152 pg/kg to 2619 pg/kg
fumonisin B2. The method works well with maize or minimally processed maize (e.g. fresh, dried and milled maize),
but does not provide reliable results with most maize-based processed products.
