A chemometric approach assessed the effect of the operational parameters on the mycotoxin extraction efficiency. The extracts were analyzed by HPLC coupled with a diode array and fluorescence detector. The optimum NADES composition resulted in the highest extraction recoveries, and it was applied to coextract the target mycotoxins in several types of edible vegetable oils without using hazardous solvents or requiring further clean-up. The limits of detection ranged from 0.07 to 300μg/kg, and recoveries were close to 100%, except for zearalenone(viz. 35%), with relative standard deviations below 9% in all cases. The proposed method was validated following the European Commission 2002/657/EC and 2006/401/EC.engAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/journal articlehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.foodchem.2023.136846https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0308814623014644open access54354MycotoxinsNatural deep eutectic solventsStatistical experimental designEdible vegetable oilsFood safetySustainable solventsCiencias23 Química24 Ciencias de la Vida31 Ciencias Agrarias33 Ciencias Tecnológicas
