Mycotoxins co-occurrence in both medicinal and chewing A. catechu was investigated.
A UFLC-ESI+/−-MS/MS method was optimized and validated to evaluate multiple mycotoxins.
A reliable, rapid and simple sample pretreatment method was optimized.
The approach possesses a desirable level of sensitivity, recovery and precision.
AFB2 and ZON were respectively detected in medicinal and chewable A. catechu.
