The ZEA content of maize, wheat, barley, swine feed and poultry feed samples was determined by immunoaffinity column cleanup followed by LC (IAC-LC). Samples were extracted in methanol – water (8 + 2, v/v) solution. The filtered extract was diluted with distilled water and applied to immunoaffiniry columns. ZEA was eluted with methanol, dried by evaporation and dissolved in acetonitrile-water (3 + 7, v/v). ZEA was separated by isocratic elution of acetonirile-water (50 + 50, v/v) on reversed phase C18 column. The quantitative analysis was performed by fluorescence detector and confirmation was based on the UV spectrum obtained by a diode array detector. The mean recovery rate of ZEA was 82-97%. The limit of detection of ZEA by fluorescence was 10 mg/kg. The specificity of the method was increased by using fluorescence detection in parallel with UV detection.
