Buckwheat is a healthy pseudo cereal widely cultivated over the world as an important raw material used for functional food because it becomes a dietary source of bioactive compounds, such as nutritionally valuable protein, phenolic compounds, starch and dietary fiber, essential minerals and trace elements. However, buckwheat can be contaminated by stramonium (Datura stramonium), which can contain high concentration of tropane alkaloids, and therefore, these toxic substances can be found in buckwheat and related matrices at concentrations higher than 100 μg/kg [1].
Tropane alkaloids are synthesized by the plants of the genus from Solanaceae family, although they are also produced in smaller quantities in plants from other families. They can affect human and animal health due to their high toxicity and intake of contaminated food or animal feed. Although there are more than 200 tropane alkaloids, atropine and scopolamine are the most common compounds of this family.
