Abstract
A rapid, sensitive and reliable analytical method for the simultaneous determination of fumonisin B1 (FB1) and fumonisin B2 (FB2) was developed and optimised using high performance liquid chromatography and fluorescence detection (HPLC-FLD) coupled with online pre-column derivatization using o-phthalaldehyde (OPA) and 2-mercaptoethanol (2-ME). This study focused on the optimisation of the online pre-column derivatization procedure, HPLC parameters, and sample pre-treatment. FB1 and FB2 in maize were extracted and purified using immunoaffinity column (IAC) and derived with OPA at room temperature. The OPA reagent was stable for 7 days, and OPA-derivatised products for 15 min. The excitation and emission wavelengths were 335 nm and 440 nm, respectively. Chromatography was performed using a C18 column and gradient elution at 1.0 mL min-1 with acetonitrile and 0.1% acetic acid at pH 3.21. The LOD values of FB1 and FB2 were 0.10 and 0.26 mg kg-1, respectively, comparable with or lower than those in other reports. The recoveries of FB1 and FB2 were between 85.6%-119.2%. The presented method is time-saving and robust, and successfully applied in determining FB1 and FB2 in maize.
期刊介绍:
Food Additives & Contaminants: Part A publishes original research papers and critical reviews covering analytical methodology, occurrence, persistence, safety evaluation, detoxification and regulatory control of natural and man-made additives and contaminants in the food and animal feed chain. Papers are published in the areas of food additives including flavourings, pesticide and veterinary drug residues, environmental contaminants, plant toxins, mycotoxins, marine biotoxins, trace elements, migration from food packaging, food process contaminants, adulteration, authenticity and allergenicity of foods. Papers are published on animal feed where residues and contaminants can give rise to food safety concerns. Contributions cover chemistry, biochemistry and bioavailability of these substances, factors affecting levels during production, processing, packaging and storage; the development of novel foods and processes; exposure and risk assessment.
