An Automated Sample Preparation and Analysis Workflow for Mycotoxin Contamination in Different Food Matrices
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this publication, we describe a completely automated sample preparation workflow for the extraction and screening of multimycotoxin contamination in different food matrices (corn, wheat) by LC-MS/MS. The extraction methodology was performed using a GERSTEL Multi Purpose Sampler (MPS) 2XL followed by analysis with an AB SCIEX QTRAP 4500 system. The automated sample preparation workflow involved centrifugation, dispersive solid phase extraction (dSPE) and evaporative concentration, providing extraction efficiencies greater than 70% with relative standard deviations (RSD) less than 15% for most analytes.

A liquid chromatography-high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) method for the simultaneous determination of aflatoxins (B(1), B(2), G(1), G(2)), ochratoxin A, deoxynivalenol, zearalenone, T-2 and HT-2 toxins in wheat flour, barley flour and crisp bread was developed. Mycotoxin fragmentation patterns obtained by high-energy collision dissociation (HCD) were investigated to obtain quantitati...
متن کاملPatulin Analysis: Sample Preparation Methodologies and Chromatographic Approaches
Patulin is a mycotoxin with carcinogenic, mutagenic and teratogenic potential mainly produced by several species of Pennicillium, Aspergillus and Byssoclamys. This toxin has been found in fresh food such as fruits and vegetables, but may also be present in commercial apple juices and other food products. Food contamination with this toxin had led, over the years, to intense investigations relat...

Foodstuffs analysis is very important due to population growth and increasing consumer demand for safety and nutritional excellence. The Analysis of different compounds in foodstuffs is so difficult without using sample preparation techniques. Traditional techniques require large amounts of toxic organic solvents. As a result, they are not only expensive but also environmentally unfriendly and ...
