A simple, rapid and reproducible analytical method for the determination of fumonisin B-1 (FB1) and fumonisin B-2 (FB2) in corn samples by matrix solid-phase dispersion procedure coupled to high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with photo-diode array detector (DAD). Several dispersants, eluents and ratios were tested during the optimization of the process in order to obtain the best results. Finally, samples were blended with C-18 and the mycotoxins were extracted with 10 mL of 10 mM formic acid in methanol. Analyses were performed by HPLC-DAD. The mobile phase was a mixture of a 77 % methanol and 23 % 0.1 M NaH2PO4 (pH 3.2) solution at 1 mL min(-1). The wavelength of detection was 335 nm. The recoveries of the extraction process ranged from 71.0 to 119.7 % with relative standard deviation lower than 15.7 % in all cases, when samples were fortified at three different concentration levels. Limits of detection and quantification were 0.05, 1 and 0.2, 2.0 mu g g(-1), respectively. Application of the method to the analysis of 13 samples including, corn kernel, flour, corn starch, popcorn, purchased in local supermarkets in Guangzhou city, China, revealed FB1 and FB2 levels.
