    Abstract:
    A new method for the determination of ochratoxin A and T-2 toxin in alcoholic beverages (wine and beer) by hollow fiber liquid microextraction was optimized. The extraction step was followed by ultra high-pressure liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS). The extraction procedure was based on the extraction of mycotoxins from the sample to the organic solvent (1-octanol) immobilized in the fiber, and afterwards, they were desorbed in a mixture of acetonitrile/water (80:20, v/v) at pH 7 prior to chromatographic determination. Different variables affecting the extraction process such as organic solvent, salt content, extraction time and desorption solution were studied. The developed method was validated in wine and beer, using white wine and alcoholic beer as representative matrices for both types of samples. Relative recoveries higher than 70% were obtained for the selected mycotoxins. Good linearity (R(2)>0.993) was obtained and quantification limits (0.02-0.09 microg L(-1)) below European regulatory levels were achieved. Repeatability, expressed as relative standard deviation, was always lower than 12%, whereas interday precision was lower than 21%. The proposed method was applied to the analysis of several types of wines and beers and ochratoxin A was detected in a rosé wine at 1.1 microg L(-1).
