A sensitive and accurate detection method is of great importance in monitoring fusaproliferin levels in foods and animal feeds and evaluating its potential hazard to human and animal health. Several methods have been developed to detect fusaproliferin in cereals and cereal-related products, including thin-layer chromatography, high-performance liquid chromatography, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (MS), gas chromatography (GC), and GC-MS. However, these detection methods either suffer from low sensitivity, need expensive instruments, or are susceptible to interfering substances in the sample matrix. The GC-flame ionization detector method developed herein is sensitive, reliable, and easy to use for detecting fusaproliferin in corn and corn-based samples. Its detection limits were 0.04 ng for standard trimethylsilyl-fusaproliferin and about 5 ppb for fusaproliferin in corn samples. The limits of quantitation of this method were 0.15 ng fusaproliferin/injection and 20 ppb of fusaproliferin in corn samples. The recovery rates of fusaproliferin from corn samples spiked with 200, 1000, and 5000 ppb standard fusaproliferin were 109, 85.7, and 98.9% on average. The repeatability of the method was acceptable when evaluated by the Horwitz equation. Of the tested corn samples, three out of five sweet corn and the three yellow corn samples were found to have low levels of fusaproliferin (9.4-45.3 ppb). A moldy corn sample had a fusaproliferin content of 297 ppb.  相似文献

Corn silage was dried, ground, and then extracted with 0.1 M ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid. The filtrate was applied to a FumoniTest immunoaffinity column. Fumonisins were derivatized with naphthalene-2,3-dicarboxaldehyde, separated on a C(18) liquid chromatographic column, and detected by fluorescence. The detection limits for fumonisin B(1), fumonisin B(2), and fumonisin B(3) were 50, 25, and 25 ng/g of dried silage, respectively. Recoveries of fumonisin B(1), fumonisin B(2), and fumonisin B(3) from wet and dried corn silage spiked over the range of 100-5000 ng/g averaged 91-106%. The method was applied to corn silage samples collected from the midwestern area of the United States during 2001-2002. Of 89 corn silage samples, fumonisin B(1), fumonisin B(2), and fumonisin B(3) were found in 86 (97%), 64 (72%), and 51 (57%) of the samples. The mean positive levels of fumonisin B(1), fumonisin B(2), and fumonisin B(3) were 615, 93, and 51 ng/g, respectively, in dried silage. This suggests that fumonisins may be frequent low level contaminants in corn silage.  相似文献

The present paper describes an enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA) used in combination with thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and liquid chromatography (LC) for determination of fusarochromanone (TDP) mycotoxins in barley, wheat, and a Fusarium culture grown in rice and corn. The mycotoxins were first extracted from the sample with 100% methanol and subjected to TLC or LC without additional cleanup treatment. Individual fractions eluted from TLC or LC were acetylated, then analyzed by ELISA. Determinations of TDP toxins at levels as low as 0.1 and 0.5 ng were achieved by ELISA in combination with LC and TLC, respectively. The detection limit for TDP-1 in barley and wheat was about 20 ppb by ELISA alone as compared with a detection limit of 5 ppb by a combination of ELISA with either TLC or LC. Overall analytical recovery (% of added) of TDP-1 added to barley and wheat at 5, 10, and 20 ppb of TDP-1 was 106.9 +/- 15.3 and 113.2 +/- 11.6 by LC-ELISA and 108.8 +/- 9.1 and 110.4 +/- 4.9 by TLC-ELISA, respectively. Analysis of extracts obtained from Fusarium equiseti R6137 grown in corn and rice by the combination of TLC and ELISA revealed that diacetyl-TDP was also produced by this fungus in addition to TDP-1 and TDP-2. Comparable results were obtained when fungal extracts were subjected to ELISA, LC, and immunochromatography (i.e., combination of ELISA with either TLC or LC).  相似文献

A gas chromatographic (GC) method is described to determine deoxynivalenol in wheat and corn at levels as low as 20 ppb. Ground samples are extracted with water, adsorbed onto a Clin Elut column, extracted with ethyl acetate, and passed through a silica gel Sep-Pak cartridge. The final extract is then derivatized with N-heptafluorobutyrylimidazole and quantitated by GC using an electron capture detector. Recoveries are greater than 85% for spiked samples at levels of 50-1000 ppb. Results for wheat, corn, and mixed feed samples are given as well as the results of an interlaboratory study on a naturally contaminated wheat sample.  相似文献

A chemical cleanup procedure for low-level quantitative determination of aflatoxins in major economically important agricultural commodities using HPLC has been developed. Aflatoxins were extracted from a ground sample with MeOH/H2O (80:20, v/v), and after a cleanup step on a minicolumn packed with Florisil, aflatoxins were quantified by HPLC equipped with a C18 column, a photochemical reactor, and a fluorescence detector. Water/MeOH (63:37, v/v) served as the mobile phase. Recoveries of aflatoxins B1, B2, G1, and G2 from peanuts spiked at 5, 1.7, 5, and 1.7 ng/g were 89.5+/-2.2, 94.7+/-2.5, 90.4+/-1.0, and 98.2+/-1.1, respectively (mean+/-SD, %, n=3). Similar recoveries, precision, and accuracy were achieved for corn, brown and white rice, cottonseed, almonds, Brazil nuts, pistachios, walnuts, and hazelnuts. The quantitation limits for aflatoxins in peanuts were 50 pg/g for aflatoxin B1 and 17 pg/g for aflatoxin B2. The minimal cost of the minicolumn allows for substantial savings compared with available commercial aflatoxin cleanup devices.  相似文献

To answer the need for simple, economical, rapid methods for mycotoxins, a procedure for screening and quantitation of ochratoxin A was developed. A methanol-aqueous KCl extraction is used, followed by cleanup with clarifying agents and partition into chloroform. Part of the chloroform extract is used for screening and the other part for quantitation by thin layer chromatography (TLC). The screening procedure takes 40 min, using a silica gel/aluminum oxide minicolumn developed for this purpose. The limits of detection are 80 and 10 micrograms/kg, respectively, for minicolumn screening and TLC quantitation. Ammonium sulfate is efficient in cleaning samples of corn and cassava; cupric sulfate is better with peanuts, beans, and rice. Tests were conducted on triplicate spiked samples of yellow corn meal, raw peanuts, dried black beans, polished rice, and cassava flour at different levels (400, 200, 80, 40, and 10 micrograms/kg). Recoveries ranged from 86 to 160% and the coefficients of variation ranged from 0 to 26%.  相似文献

A sensitive method is described for determination of nivalenol (NIV) and deoxynivalenol (DON) in cereals by using reverse phase liquid chromatography and UV detection at 222 nm. The sample is extracted with acetonitrile-water (85 + 15) and an aliquot is purified by passage through a combined column of cation exchange resin and alumina-carbon (20 + 1). Analysis at this stage is possible with some samples but the method recommends passing an aliquot through a carbon minicolumn after evaporation and solubilization in methanol. Interference from coextracted compounds at this point is negligible. Recoveries of both NIV and DON from spiked extracts taken through the full method were in the range 83-94%. The relative standard deviation, based on 5 replicate determinations from each of 2 corn samples, was approximately 5% for both NIV and DON. With a 10 microL injection, the minimum contamination (3 X signal/noise ratio) able to be detected in cereal samples was about 0.015 micrograms NIV/g and 0.05 micrograms DON/g. The cleaned up extracts are also suitable for analysis by gas chromatography.  相似文献

This study was designed to determine the efficacy of extrusion in reducing fumonisin B1 in corn flaking grits in the presence and absence of glucose. In addition, degradation products of fumonisin B1 during extrusion were identified and quantitated with a mass balance approach. Uncontaminated clean corn grits, grits spiked with 30 microg/g fumonisin B1, and grits fermented with Fusarium verticillioides M-2552 (40-50 microg/g fumonisin B1) were extruded in the presence and absence of glucose (10%, w/w) using a single-screw extruder. Extrusion decreased fumonisin B1 by 21-37%, whereas the same process with added glucose further decreased fumonisin B1 by 77-87%. LC-fluorescence and LC-MS showed that most fumonisin in the extruded samples without added glucose was the fumonisin B1 form, whereas the main degradation product in grits extruded with glucose was N-(deoxy- d-fructos-1-yl)fumonisin B1. The formation of hydrolyzed fumonisin B1 was not significant during extrusion. Results suggest that extrusion in the presence of glucose may reduce fumonisin B1 in corn grits significantly.  相似文献

Solid phase microextraction (SPME) is used to collect and concentrate the compounds in the headspace of rice. This research describes optimization parameters of temperature, moisture, and sampling time. Optimization was based upon the recovered levels of 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline (2-AP), the popcorn aroma in aromatic rice. The method uses a sampling temperature of 80 degrees C and adds 100 microL of water to a 0.75 g sample of rice. The rice was preheated for 25 min, a carboxen/DVB/PDMS SPME fiber was exposed to the headspace for 15 min, and a subsequent GC-MS analysis took 35 min. Samples of rice can be analyzed as the flour, milled kernels, or brown rice. Twenty-one experimental rice varieties were analyzed by the SPME method and compared to a wet technique. Recoveries of several nanograms of 2-AP from 0.75 g samples of aromatic rice were observed, whereas only trace amounts of 2-AP were recovered from nonaromatic rice. Recovery from a single SPME headspace analysis is calculated to be 0.3% of the total 2-AP in the sample.  相似文献

A gas-liquid chromatographic (GLC) method has been developed for the determination of the experimental herbicide 3,6-dichloropicolinic acid (Dowco 290) in soils. The method involves extraction of 1 g soil samples with 1N NaCl at approximately pH 7, methylation with diazomethane utilizing a microgenerator, and detection by electron capture GLC. Interferences are small, so that a cleanup step is not necessary even at the 6 ppb level. The procedure is rapid, requiring only 45 min/sample. Recoveries range from 84 to 94% at the 6-1000 ppb level with a minimum detectable limit of 6 ppb. Standard deviations for the percentage recovery values vary from 10.9 to 2.3 for the tested range of 6.7-670 ppb, respectively.  相似文献

The thin layer chromatographic (TLC) method of Trucksess et al. (J. Assoc. Off. Anal. Chem. (1984) 67, 40-43) was modified for the determination of deoxynivalenol (DON) in high-sugar breakfast cereals, corn syrup, and beer. Celite was added to the substrate before extraction with acetonitrile-water (84 + 16). After filtration through an alumina-charcoal-Celite (0.5 + 0.7 + 0.3) column, the filtrate was evaporated to dryness and redissolved in water, which was passed through an octylsilyl reverse phase column. DON was eluted with anhydrous ethyl ether. The residue remaining after the eluate was evaporated to dryness was dissolved in CHCl3-acetonitrile (4 + 1) and chromatographed on AlCl3-impregnated silica gel TLC plates. The blue fluorescent DON spot was quantitated fluorodensitometrically after the TLC plate was heated at 120 degrees C for 7 min. Recoveries of DON added to breakfast cereals at 100, 200, and 400 ng/g levels and to syrup and beer at 50, 100, and 200 ng/g levels averaged 86%. The limit of determination in these products was about 50 ng/g.  相似文献

A liquid chromatographic method for determination of thiabendazole, 5-hydroxythiabendazole, oxfendazole, mebendazole (MBZ), and fenbendazole (FBZ) in cattle liver and muscle was collaboratively studied in 7 laboratories in 1986. For blind fortified samples containing 800 ppb FBZ, average recovery and relative standard deviations for repeatability and reproducibility (RSDr and RSDR) based on results from 6 of the participating laboratories were 83%, 12.7%, and 14.0%, respectively. Recoveries of FBZ from incurred liver samples were more variable. Recoveries of MBZ from livers fortified at the 100 ppb level were encouraging; however, the drug levels were too low in the incurred samples used for MBZ studies. Except for FBZ and MBZ in liver, the study data were not satisfactory. The method has been adopted official first action by AOAC for determination of 800-1600 ppb fenbendazole in liver. The analysis should be repeated using a smaller sample size when initial analyses show levels greater than 1600 ppb FBZ.  相似文献

Two studies were conducted to determine the effect that cooking has on the level of residues of ethylene dibromide (EDB) in rice. In the first study, 4 samples of long and medium grain polished white rice containing 113, 295, 956, and 1568 ppb EDB were cooked according to typical label directions. Three batches of cooked rice were prepared from each sample of polished rice and frozen until analysis; each batch was analyzed in duplicate. EDB levels in all cooked rice samples were less than 10 ppb. In the second study, conducted jointly by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), a sample of medium grain polished white rice containing about 1600 ppb EDB was cooked by each laboratory. Overall average EDB levels in rice analyzed immediately after cooking were 16 and 37 ppb for FDA and EPA, respectively. The corresponding frozen samples contained 8 and 39 ppb EDB. The 2 laboratories exchanged these frozen samples and reanalyzed them to check variability in the analytical procedure. FDA found 49 ppb EDB in the sample cooked by EPA and EPA found 8 ppb EDB in the sample cooked by FDA, thus indicating that analytical methodology was not a major source of variability. The range of EDB levels was therefore attributed to minor differences in the way the rice was cooked or handled immediately after cooking.  相似文献

Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for deoxynivalenol in corn and wheat   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3  
The availability of antibody against deoxynivalenol (DON) triacetate (Tri-Ac-DON) has enabled development of a direct enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and an indirect ELISA for DON in corn and wheat. In both assays, DON is extracted from the sample with acetonitrile-water, reacted with acetic anhydride to form Tri-Ac-DON, and diluted in phosphate buffer for analysis. Direct ELISA was found to be the more sensitive procedure. Fewer interferences are evidenced, and the assay is less time consuming than is indirect ELISA. For direct ELISA, recovery of 10-1000 ppb DON added to corn and wheat was 100% (SD 15, CV 15%) and 102.1% (SD 12.2, CV 11.9%), respectively. For indirect ELISA, overall recovery of 10-1000 ppb DON added to wheat was 121.5% (SD 39.5, CV 32.5%); in the higher concentration range (500-1000 ppb), recovery was 105% (SD 18, CV 17%). The minimal detection level for DON was around 10 ppb. Analysis of 7 naturally contaminated samples for DON showed that the ELISA results agreed well with those obtained by radioimmunoassay and thin-layer chromatography.  相似文献

Methods for determination of triaryl/alkylphosphates (TAPs) in water, fish, and sediment have been extended to determination of the diarylphosphate (DAP) degradation products. DAPs were extracted from water (adjusted to pH 0.5) by use of XAD-2 resin and determined by gas-liquid chromatography as butyl esters. Recovery of diphenylphosphate (DPP) and o-, m-, p-dicresylphosphates (DoCP, DmCP, DpCP) were greater than 95% in water samples fortified at 1, 10, and 50 micrograms/L. DAPs were extracted from fish with methanol and the extracts were cleaned up on reverse phase (C18) silica cartridges. Recoveries were greater than 87% for DPP, DoCP, DmCP, and DpCP in fish muscle fortified at 50, 100, and 500 ng/g. Sediments were refluxed with aqueous methanol and DAPs were recovered by use of XAD-2 resin. Recoveries of DAPs from sediments fortified at 50 and 100 ng/g were greater than 76%. Interferences (1-10 ng/g) from phosphorus or nitrogen-containing GLC peaks prevented sub- ng/g level analysis for DAPs in sediment and fish extracts.  相似文献

A study was conducted to evaluate the performance of 2 enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) for rapidly screening samples of peanuts for the presence of aflatoxin. The EZ-Screen Quick Card Test and the Afla-10 Cup Test were compared with liquid chromatography in duplicate analyses of common extracts of peanuts contaminated in the range of 0-70 ppb (ng/g). Each assay properly identified 95% of samples containing no detectable aflatoxin as negative and greater than 97% of samples containing greater than 10 ppb aflatoxin as positive. The card test, which had a 20 ppb detection threshold, identified as positive 32 of 34 samples in the 11-20 ppb range. This indicates that the card test might actually have a detection threshold closer to 10 ppb. Most of the errors associated with the assays occurred on samples containing less than 10 ppb aflatoxin. The cup and card tests identified 76 and 67% of the samples, respectively, as negative, in the range of 4-10 ppb. For samples either negative or contaminated above their detection thresholds for the assays, the methods are well suited for use as rapid screening tests.  相似文献

Ethylene dibromide (EDB) levels in food samples were determined by gas chromatography with a high-resolution capillary column and electron capture detector. The capillary column used was 3 mm id X 25 m cross-linked 5% phenylmethyl silicone. Column temperature was set at 40 degrees C by a coolant containing carbon dioxide gas. Optimum temperatures of the injection port and detector were 200 and 350 degrees C, respectively. The detection limit was 0.5 ppb and linear from 1 to 20 pg on the dynamic range. EDB residues in food samples were extracted with n-hexane by steam distillation. A few impurity peaks appeared near EDB on the chromatogram; however, the EDB peak was resolved. Recoveries of EDB from wheat and brown rice ranged from 66.1 to 99.6%. EDB was detected in 3 samples of imported wheat at a range of 0.74-1.70 ppb, and was not detected at all in 37 samples. The EDB remaining in EDB-fortified cookies after baking was examined. The amounts of EDB were reduced to 30 to 50% of the original amounts by kneading the dough, and to below 1.5% by baking.  相似文献

This study was undertaken to evaluate the lipidemic response of rice bran and the possible enhancement of its healthful properties by using raw or processed white or brown rice in place of corn starch. All diets contained 10% total dietary fiber, 15% fat, and 0.5% cholesterol. Weanling male golden Syrian hamsters were fed cellulose control (CC), processed corn starch (PCS), cellulose with processed brown rice (CPBR), rice bran (RB), RB with white rice (RBWR), RB with processed white rice (RBPWR), RB with brown rice (RBBR), and RB with processed brown rice (RBPBR) diets. After three weeks, the PCS diet significantly lowered total plasma cholesterol (TC) compared with the CC, CPBR, RBWR, and RBPBR diets. RB and RBBR diets significantly lowered TC and LDL‐C compared with CPBR diet. All the RB‐containing and PCS diets significantly lowered liver cholesterol and liver lipid content. Processing white rice increased TDF content 240% and insoluble dietary fiber (IDF) 360%, whereas soluble dietary fiber (SDF) decreased by 25%. Uncooked brown rice contained 7 times as much TDF as uncooked white rice. Processing brown rice decreased its TDF, IDF and SDF contents by 12, 6, and 42%, respectively. The data suggest that a possible mechanism for cholesterol‐lowering by rice bran, with or without added raw or processed rice (white or brown), is by decreasing lipid digestibility and increasing neutral sterol excretion, whereas cholesterol‐lowering by processed corn starch is mediated through other mechanisms.  相似文献

An indirect competitive enzyme immunoassay for hen egg white lysozyme (HEL) used as a food additive was investigated. Anti-HEL antibodies were obtained from B10A mouse ascites immunized by intraperitoneal injection of HEL. HEL samples to be assayed were extracted from foods with 1% gelatin in borate buffer. Goat anti-mouse IgG (H+L)-peroxidase complex was used as a second antibody, and 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine was used as a substrate for the peroxidase. The working range for quantitative analysis was 1-50 ng/mL, because in this range the binding inhibition curve of anti-HEL antibodies to HEL-coated plates by HEL was linear. Even after losing the lysozyme activity by heat treatment, HEL could be detected by indirect competitive enzyme immunoassay. Recoveries of HEL by this assay were greater than 85% for Japanese noodles and Japanese traditional-style confectioneries, 53-95% for Miso and cooked beans, and 30-85% for fried fish pastes. HEL contents of 55 commercial foods were determined; HEL was detected in 19 samples in the range 25-20,000 ng/g. HEL as a food additive was detected more frequently in plant-derived foods than in foods of animal origin.  相似文献

The liquid chromatographic determination of alpha-zearalenol and zearalenone in corn was collaboratively studied. Each of 13 collaborators received 7 corn samples; 2 were blanks and 5 were spiked to contain 50, 100, and 200 ng alpha-zearalenol/g and 50, 100, 500, 1000, and 4000 ng zearalenone/g. Four sets (including blanks) of blind duplicates were included in the study. Five naturally contaminated corn samples (one in duplicate) were also provided. All collaborators detected both mycotoxins at 50 ng/g. Average recoveries reported by all collaborators ranged from 81.9% at 200 ng/g to 100.3% at 50 ng/g for alpha-zearalenol and from 77.8% at 1000 ng/g to 123% at 50 ng/g for zearalenone. Three collaborators reported false positives for both alpha-zearalenol and zearalenone. The within-laboratory CV values based on blind duplicates were 22.6% for alpha-zearalenol and 31.4% for zearalenone. The CV values based on laboratory-sample interaction were 25.6 and 33.8% for alpha-zearalenol and zearalenone, respectively. The CV values for naturally contaminated samples (including duplicates) were 47.0% for alpha-zearalenol and 37.7% for zearalenone. The method has been adopted official first action.  相似文献
