  • Title: Liquid chromatographic determination of aflatoxin M1 in milk.
    Author: Tyczkowska K, Hutchins JE, Hagler WM.
    Journal: J Assoc Off Anal Chem; 1984; 67(4):739-41. PubMed ID: 6432770.
    Abstract:
    The official AOAC method for aflatoxin M1 in milk was modified by replacing cellulose column chromatography with cartridge chromatographic cleanup and replacing thin layer chromatographic (TLC) determination with liquid chromatographic (LC) quantitation to yield a new method for bovine and porcine milk. An acetone extract of milk is treated with lead acetate and defatted with hexane, and M1 is partitioned into chloroform as in the AOAC method. Chloroform is removed by evaporation under a stream of nitrogen at 50 degrees C. The residue is dissolved in chloroform, the vessel is rinsed with hexane, and the 2 solutions are applied in sequence to a hexane-activated silica Sep-Pak cartridge. Less polar impurities are removed with hexane-ethyl ether, and M1 is eluted with chloroform-methanol, and determined by C18 reverse phase LC using fluorescence detection. Recoveries of M1 added to bovine milk at 0.25, 0.50, and 1.0 ng/mL were 90.8, 93.4, and 94.1%, respectively. The limit of detection was less than 0.1 ng M1/mL for both bovine and porcine milk.
