    Abstract:
    Cereal-based food can be frequently contaminated by the presence of mycotoxins derived from Fusarium fungus, and, in particular, by deoxynivalenol (DON). Nowadays, analytical strategies for the detection of DON are well developed, but there are gaps for what concerns a correct identification, quantification and toxicological evaluation of the respective metabolites, mainly related to detoxifying actions via plant metabolism or to processing technologies and also referred to as "masked" mycotoxins. Here, we report the development of a liquid chromatography/linear ion trap mass spectrometry method capable of determining deoxynivalenol-3-glucoside (DON-3G), which is the main known DON metabolite, in different processed cereal-derived products. Samples were extracted with a mixture of methanol/water (80:20; v/v) and cleaned up using immunoaffinity columns. Chromatographic separation was performed using a core-shell C(18) column with an aqueous acetic acid/methanol mixture as the mobile phase under gradient conditions. The method was in-house validated on a bread matrix as follows: matrix-matched linearity (r(2)>0.99) was established in the range of 10-200 μg kg(-1); trueness expressed as recovery was close to 90%; good intermediate precision (overall RSD<9%) and adequate detection quantitation limits (4 and 11 μg kg(-1), respectively) were achieved. Furthermore, applying a metrology approach based on intralaboratory data, the estimated measurement expanded uncertainty was determined to be equal to 29%. The reliability of the method was finally demonstrated in bread, cracker, biscuit and minicake commodities, resulting in relatively low levels of DON-3G, which were not higher than 30 μg kg(-1).
