Detection and analysis of phytotoxins involve several analytical techniques. Chromatography, such as high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), is commonly used to separate and identify phytotoxins in plant materials. Mass spectrometry (MS) is often coupled with chromatography to provide detailed information on the molecular structure and mass of the phytotoxins. These techniques are essential for assessing the presence and concentration of phytotoxins in food and environmental samples.
