Eletrochemical reduction of patulin and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural in both neutral and acid non-aqueous media. Their electroanalytical determination in apple juices

► Studies about the electrochemical reduction of patulin mycotoxin. ► Studies were conducted in neutral and acid non-aqueous media. ► Simultaneous electroanalytical determination of patulin and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural. ► Detection limit for patulin in acid medium is within allowed values by the international law. ► Electroanalytical methodology appears as a good screening method for patulin determination in apple juices.
