Overpressured layer chromatographic determination of aflatoxin B1, B2, G1 and G2 in red paprika

Determination of aflatoxin B1 and total aflatoxin (B1 + B2 + G1 + G2) in red paprika powder is described using column chromatographic sample clean-up, overpressured layer chromatography (OPLC) separation and fluorescence densitometric evaluation. Two OPLC methods were developed for separation of the four aflatoxins. The detection limit and quantification limit of aflatoxins in red paprika were 0.5 and 1 μg/kg in both methods, respectively. Recovery experiment was carried out with sample containing 1.74 μg/kg aflatoxin B1 and 3.56 μg/kg total aflatoxins measured by European standard HPLC method. Mean recovery amounted to 78.5% (SD 16.1%, n = 5) for aflatoxin B1 and 81.8% (SD 17.1%, n = 5) for total aflatoxins in the case of method 1. It was 105.3% (SD 10.7%, n = 5) for aflatoxin B1 and 97.4% (SD 18.6%, n = 5) for total aflatoxins using the method 2. Despite of that the Hungarian climate is not proper for the toxin production of moulds high aflatoxin B1 contaminated red paprika purchased from the market was found, which may originate from mixing of imported paprika containing very high level toxin with Hungarian one.     

Determination of aflatoxins B1, G1, B2 and G2 in medicinal herbs by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry

An easy method for the determination of aflatoxins B1, G1, B2 and G2 in Rhammus purshiana by LC coupled to mass spectrometry has been developed. Aflatoxins were extracted with a mixture of methanol and water and then it was purified by solid-phase clean-up using a polymeric sorbent, not described previously, for the determination of these toxins. The eluted extract was injected into the chromatographic system using a reversed-phase C18 short column with an isocratic mobile phase composed of methanol-water (30:70). A single-quadruple mass spectrometry using an electrospray ionization source operating in the positive ion mode was used to detect aflatoxins due to derivatization presenting several disadvantages. Recoveries of the full analytical procedure were 110% for aflatoxin B1, 89% for aflatoxin B2, 81% for aflatoxin G1 and 77% for aflatoxin G2. Detection limit (S/N = 3) was 10 ng and quantification limit (S/N = 10) was 25 ng, calculated as amount in medicinal herb.     

Potential of near infrared spectroscopy for the analysis of mycotoxins applied to naturally contaminated red paprika found in the Spanish market

The potential of the near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) technique for the analysis of red paprika for aflatoxin B(1), ochratoxin A and total aflatoxins is explored. As a reference, the results from a chromatographic method with fluorescence detection (HPLC-FD) following an immunoaffinity cleanup (IAC) were employed. For the NIRS measurement, a remote reflectance fibre-optic probe was applied directly onto the samples of paprika. There was no need for pre-treatment or manipulation of the sample. The modified partial least squares (MPLS) algorithm was employed as a regression method. The multiple correlation coefficients (RSQ) and the prediction corrected standard errors (SEP(C)) were respectively 0.955 and 0.2 microg kg(-1), 0.853 and 2.3 microg kg(-1), 0.938 and 0.3 microg kg(-1) for aflatoxin B(1), ochratoxin A and total aflatoxins, respectively. The capacity for prediction of the developed model measured as ratio performance deviation (RPD) for aflatoxin B(1) (5.2), ochratoxin A (2.8) and total aflatoxins (4.4) indicate that NIRS technique using a fibre-optic probe offers an alternative for the determination of these three parameters in paprika, with an advantageously lower cost and higher speed as compared with the chemical method. Content of aflatoxin B(1) and total aflatoxins are the parameters currently employed by the food regulations to limit the levels of the four aflatoxins in many foodstuffs. In addition, aflatoxin B(1) itself is an excellent indicator for aflatoxins' contamination since it is always the most abundant and toxic.     

Immunoaffinity column cleanup with liquid chromatography using post-column bromination for determination of aflatoxins in hazelnut paste: interlaboratory study

An interlaboratory study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of an immunoaffinity column cleanup liquid chromatography (LC) method for determination of aflatoxin B1 and total aflatoxins in hazelnut paste at European regulatory limits. The test portion was extracted with methanol-water (6 + 4). The extract was filtered, diluted with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) solution to a specified solvent concentration, and applied to an immunoaffinity column containing antibodies specific to aflatoxins. The aflatoxins were removed from the immunoaffinity column with methanol, and then quantified by reversed-phase LC with post-column derivatization (PCD) involving bromination. The PCD was achieved with electrochemically generated bromine (Kobra Cell) followed by fluorescence detection (except for one participant who used pyridinum hydrobromide perbromide for bromination). Hazelnut paste, both naturally contaminated with aflatoxins and blank (<0.1 ng/g) for spiking by participants with aflatoxins, was sent to 14 collaborators in Belgium, The Netherlands, Spain, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Test portions were spiked at levels of 4.0 and 10.0 ng/g for total aflatoxins by participants using supplied total aflatoxins standards. Recoveries for total aflatoxins and aflatoxin B1 averaged from 86 to 89%. Based on results for naturally contaminated samples (blind duplicates at 3 levels ranging from 4.0 to 11.8 ng/g total aflatoxins), the relative standard deviation for repeatability (RSDr) ranged from 2.3 to 3.4% for total aflatoxins and from 2.2 to 3.2% for aflatoxin B1. The relative standard deviation for reproducibility (RSD(R)) ranged from 6.1 to 7.0% for total aflatoxins and from 7.3 to 7.8% for aflatoxin B1. The method showed exceptionally good within-laboratory and between-laboratory precision for hazelnut paste, as evidenced by HORRAT values, which in all cases were significantly below target levels, the low levels of determination for both aflatoxin B1 and total aflatoxins.

Immunoaffinity column cleanup with liquid chromatography using post-column bromination for determination of aflatoxins in peanut butter, pistachio paste, fig paste, and paprika powder: collaborative study

A collaborative study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of an immunoaffinity column cleanup liquid chromatography (LC) method for the determination of aflatoxin B1 and total aflatoxins at European regulatory limits. The test portion is extracted with methanol-water (8 + 2) for dried figs and paprika, and with methanol-water (8 + 2) plus hexane (or cyclohexane) for peanut butter and pistachios. The sample extract is filtered, diluted with phosphate buffer saline, and applied to an immunoaffinity column. The column is washed with water and the aflatoxins are eluted with methanol. Aflatoxins are quantitated by reversed-phase LC with post-column derivatization (PCD) involving bromination. PCD is achieved with either an electrochemical cell (Kobra cell) and addition of bromide to the mobile phase or pyridinium hydrobromide perbromide. Determination is by fluorescence. Peanut butter, pistachio paste, dried fig paste, and paprika powder samples, both naturally contaminated with aflatoxins and containing added aflatoxins, were sent to 16 collaborators in 16 European countries. Test portions of samples were spiked at levels of 2.4 and 9.6 ng/g for total aflatoxins which included 1.0 and 4.0 ng/g aflatoxin B1, respectively. Recoveries for total aflatoxins ranged from 71 to 92% with corresponding recoveries for aflatoxin B1 of 82 to 109%. Based on results for spiked samples (blind duplicates at 2 levels) as well as naturally contaminated samples (blind duplicates at 4 levels, including blank), the relative standard deviation for repeatability ranged from 4.6 to 23.3% for total aflatoxins and from 3.1 to 20.0% for aflatoxin B1. The relative standard deviation for reproducibility ranged from 14.1 to 34.2% for total aflatoxins, and from 9.1 to 32.2% for aflatoxin B1. The method showed acceptable within-laboratory and between-laboratory precision for all 4 matrixes, as evidenced by HORRAT values <1, at the low levels of determination for both total aflatoxins and aflatoxin B1.     

High-performance liquid chromatography of aflatoxins in human urine

A method was developed for the extraction and determination of unconjugated aflatoxins in human urine by high-performance liquid chromatography. The analysis is based on the elimination of lipid-soluble constituents other than unconjugated aflatoxins in urine by light petroleum extraction. The unconjugated aflatoxins were subsequently extracted from the aqueous phase with chloroform-acetone. Chromatography was performed isocratically with a silica column at 40 degrees C. The resolved aflatoxins were detected and identified by ultraviolet and fluorometric detectors. The recoveries of aflatoxins B1 and G1 added prior to the extraction were 72% and 83%, respectively. This procedure is simple, sensitive and practically useful for epidemiological survey of unconjugated aflatoxins in human urine from areas with a high risk of aflatoxin consumption.     

Determination of aflatoxins in peanuts by matrix solid-phase dispersion and liquid chromatography

A new method based on matrix solid-phase dispersion (MSPD) extraction was studied to determine aflatoxin B1, B2, G1 and G2 from peanuts. Optimization of different parameters, such as type of solid supports for matrix dispersion and elution solvents were carried out. The method used 2 g of peanut sample, 2 g of C18 bonded silica as MSPD sorbent and acetonitrile as eluting solvent. Recoveries of each aflatoxin spiked to peanut samples at 2.5 ng/g (5 ng/g for aflatoxin G2) level were between 78 and 86% with relative standard deviations ranging from 4 to 7%. The limits of quantification ranged from 0.125 to 2.5 ng/g for the four studied aflatoxins using liquid chromatography (LC) with fluorescence detection. In addition, LC coupled to mass spectrometry with an electrospray interface was used for confirmation of aflatoxins present in real samples. Eleven peanut samples from different countries were analyzed by the proposed method and by using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). ELISA test is a good screening method for investigation of these mycotoxins in peanut samples.     

Rapid determination of aflatoxins in corn and peanuts

A rapid and simple method using ultra-high-pressure liquid chromatography with UV detection for the determination of aflatoxins B1, B2, G1 and G2 in corn and peanuts has been developed. In this method, aflatoxins were extracted with a mixture of acetonitrile and water (86:14) and then purified by solid-phase clean-up with a MycoSep#226 AflaZon(+) column. The toxins were determined by UPLC-UV without derivatizing aflatoxins in real samples, which has not been used in other studies. The mean recoveries of aflatoxins from non-infected peanut and corn samples spiked with aflatoxins B1, B2, G1 and G2 at concentrations from 0.22 to 5 microg/kg were between 83.4% and 94.7%. The detection limits (S/N=3) for B1, B2, G1 and G2 were 0.32, 0.19, 0.32 and 0.19 microg/kg, and the corresponding quantification limits (S/N=10) were 1.07, 0.63, 1.07 and 0.63 microg/kg, respectively. We also applied this method on real samples. Among 16 peanut samples, 2 (12.5% incidence) were contaminated with aflatoxin; among 18 corn samples, 4 (22% incidence) were contaminated. The proposed method is rapid, simple and accurate for monitoring aflatoxins in corn and peanuts.
