The EU maximum limit of 10 mu g kg(-1) of OTA for dried vine fruits has been established since 2002 (European Commission, 2005). The presented work explore the capability of using Fourier infrared spectroscopy attenuated total reflection (FTIR-ATR) for the detection of ochratoxin A (OTA) in dried vine fruits in a range of concentration between 2 and 50 mu g kg(-1) OTA. The method developed included a sample pretreatment using a C18 cartridge which was efficient for the isolation of the mycotoxin. The PLS1 analysis of the spectrum of sultanas spiked with different OTA concentrations showed a good correlation between the spectral data and reference concentration for OTA (R-2 = 0.85).
