Infrared (IR) spectroscopy (IRS) is a green, rapid, and low-cost analytical technique well suited for high-throughput screening applications. To detect mycotoxins with IRS, a calibration based on fungi induced sample changes is required. This indirect approach makes implementation a challenge and causes skepticism towards the use of IRS for mycotoxin screening. This chapter provides a concise summary of the limitations and advantages of IRS, including an evaluation of the cost of implementation and the greenness of the technique. The discussion will cover the differences between near- and mid-IRS, along with the potential for single-kernel IR-based analysis. Furthermore, the requirements for developing an IR calibration for rapid mycotoxin screening will be explored, providing an overview of the implementation of IRS in this context. The current state of the art will be examined, highlighting applications and potential future trends in IR-based mycotoxin screening.
