    Abstract:
    A gas chromatographic method for screening trichothecene mycotoxins in feeds is described. Feed is extracted with acetonitrile-water, and the toxins are purified with charcoal-alumina-Celite, Florisil, and silica mini-columns. Deoxynivalenol (DON), nivalenol (NIV), diacetoxyscirpenol (DAS), T-2 toxin, and their fungal metabolites are hydrolyzed to their corresponding parent alcohols (DON, NIV, scirpentriol, or T-2 tetraol) by alkaline hydrolysis. After derivatization to their pentafluoropropionyl analogs, they are quantitated by capillary gas chromatography with electron capture detection. Identity can be confirmed and sensitivity can be increased by using negative chemical ionization mass spectrometry with no additional sample workup. Recoveries of DAS, DON, and T-2 toxin averaged, respectively, 80, 65, and 85% in corn; 84, 65, and 88% in soybeans; and 70, 57, and 96% in mixed feeds at concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 2.0 ppm. Recoveries of 15-monoacetoxyscirpenol (MAS), HT-2, NIV, and T-2 tetraol were 97, 97, 86, and 56%, respectively, in corn at a concentration of 0.25 ppm: A detection limit of 0.02 ppm in corn, soybeans, and mixed feeds, and 0.05 ppm in silages is estimated.
