Abstract: Ergot alkaloids are a large, complex family of mycotoxins, and have a long history associated with agricultural problems and human diseases. As a result, developing an effective detection procedure is of substantial importance. In this paper, we review recent research advances in the structure characteristics of ergot alkaloids and their sample pretreatment methods as well as detection methods including clorimetry, thin layer chromatography, high performance liquid chromatography, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and some modern detection methods such as GC-MS, LC/ESI-MS/MS, high performance capillary zone electrophoresis and near infrared spectroscopy.

Key words: ergot alkaloids, structure characteristics, sample pretreatment, analytical methods
