  • Title: Multiresidue mycotoxin analysis in corn grain by column high-performance liquid chromatography with postcolumn photochemical and chemical derivatization: single-laboratory validation.

    Journal: J AOAC Int; 2009; 92(1):15-25. PubMed ID: 19382558.
    Abstract:
    A multiresidue method was developed and validated for simultaneous analysis of 5 families of mycotoxins in corn grain. Deoxynivalenol (DON); aflatoxins B1, B2, G1, G2; ochratoxin A; zearalenone; and fumonisins FB1 and FB2 are extracted from corn grain samples with water-methanol, and extracts are cleaned up using immunoaffinity and solid-phase extraction columns. The column high-performance liquid chromatographic method uses postcolumn photochemical derivatization for detection of aflatoxins and derivatization with o-phthalaldehyde for detection of fumonisins. Mean recoveries and relative standard deviation values (%) over studied fortification levels for the chosen matrixes were: DON 89.9, 8.7; aflatoxin B1 85, 9.4; aflatoxin B2 82.4, 9.7; aflatoxin G1 74.8, 13.5; aflatoxin G2 79.2, 10.0; fumonisin B1 96.2, 8.0; fumonisin B2 84.5, 6.4; zearalenone 91.7, 11.5; and ochratoxin A 87.4, 15.8. The method performance criteria, including specificity, accuracy, repeatability, operational range, and detection limits, were found to be within specifications set by the Feed Additives and Contaminants Group of the AOAC Agricultural Materials Community.
