  • Title: Determination of deoxynivalenol in wheat, barley, and malt by column cleanup and gas chromatography with electron capture detection.
    Author: Tacke BK, Casper HH.
    Journal: J AOAC Int; 1996; 79(2):472-5. PubMed ID: 8920135.
    Abstract:
    A rapid and reliable method to determine deoxynivalenol (DON) in wheat, barley, and malt is described. Samples are extracted with acetonitrile-water (84 + 16). Extracts are eluted through a C18-alumina (1 + 3) column, evaporated to dryness, and derivatized with trimethylsilylimidazole-trimethylchlorosilane (100 + 1). DON is identified and quantitated by capillary gas chromatography with electron capture detection. This method can quantitate DON levels from 0.2 to 40 ppm. Multiple analyses of wheat spiked at 2 ppm and of naturally contaminated wheat, malt, and barley resulted in coefficients of variation of 5.1, 5.1, 6.0, and 9.8%, respectively. Recoveries of DON spikes at 3 levels were 94-100% for wheat, 100-105% for barley, and 100-105% for malt. Results for wheat sample analyzed with this procedure (1.9 +/- 0.1 ppm DON) compared well with results for the same sample analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (1.9 ppm DON) and by liquid chromatography (1.7 ppm DON).
