Abstract
For trace content of aflatoxins determination in maize, it is important to exploit an effective adsorbent for sample extraction and purification. A hierarchical porous covalent organic framework (HPCOF) was synthesized using a solvothermal method. The HPCOF had a pore size distribution of 1.7 to 33.2 nm, which could offer molecular interaction sites between HPCOFs and aflatoxins. The extraction capacities was observed from 124 to 184 μg·g−1. Utilizing as adsorbent, a new determination for aflatoxins including AFB1, AFB2, AFG1, and AFG2 in maize was established coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography-fluorescence detector (HPLC-FLD). The linear range was 0.1–50 ng·g−1. The limits of detection (LODs) were 0.033–0.16 ng·g−1 (with RSDs 2.4–8.5 %, n = 5). The developed analysis method was successfully used for detect trace aflatoxins in maize with the recoveries ranged from 81.5 to 111.6 %.
