Abstract
The Alternaria mycotoxins tenuazonic acid (TA), alternariol (AOH) and alternariol monomethyl ether (AME) were quantified in spices (paprika, curry, pepper) using stable isotope dilution assays. All spices were contaminated with TA up to the mg/kg range. AOH was determined in paprika with a maximum value of 50 μg/kg, whereas all other spices contained AOH, as well as AME, in levels below their limit of quantitation (30 and 15 μg/kg, respectively).
