Ozone is a chemical agent with great potential to reduce
mycotoxins, it was effective against to reduce some
mycotoxins. In view of this it was aimed of this work
study the Cyclopiazonic acid (CPA) degradation by
aqueous ozone. The degradation of exogenously CPA
introduced in mobile phase was confirmed by High
performance liquid Chromatography (HPLC). In parallel
it was tested the effect of sodium formate (SF), to
evaluate the influence of this chemical to neutralize
ozone after adding CPA to ozone reaction, since it is a
chemical used to stop ozone reaction. Results shown
that SF did not influence aqueous ozone to degrade the
CPA, since the quickness of ozone reaction
