An overview with 88 references. Cleanup procedures of analytical methods for foods and foodstuffs contaminated with Alternaria toxins include solvent partition, general used for tenuazonic acid and solid-phase extraction columns for alternariol (AOH), alternaiol monomethel ether (AME) and altertoxins I. Alternaria mycotoxins have been determined by TLC, GC and more usually LC, mainly with UV protection. Recently, atmospheric pressure chemical ionization and electrospray LC/MS and LC-MS/MS have been applied to the determination and confirmation of AOH and AME in apple juice and other fruit beverages at sub mg/L levels. Natural occurrences of AOH, AME and other Alternaria toxins have been reported in tomatoes, olives, mandarins, melons, peppers, apples and raspberries. They have been found also in processed fruit products such as apple juice, other fruit beverages and tomato products, wheat and other grains, sunflower seeds, oilseed rape meal and pecans.
