Owing to the wide activities of BFA, there is a need to develop a method for rapid identification of BFA in crude microbial extracts. In this paper, a method has been established and validated for screening and identification of individual as well as total BFA by high-performance liquid chromatography and liquid chromatography/electrospray mass spectrometry in fungal raw materials.
