Simultaneous Mycotoxin Quantification Protocol
Mycotoxin standard solutions (10 mg/L in MeCN) of OTA, STE, F-X, DON, CIT, ZEN, FB1, FB2, T-2 and HT-2 were purchased from Techno Spec (Barcelona, Spain). Individual standards (powder) of ENNA, ENNA1, ENNB, ENNB1 and BEA were obtained from Sigma Aldrich and stock solutions were prepared at 1000 mg/L in MeCN. Multi-mycotoxins intermediate working solutions in MeCN (1 mg/L of OTA and STE; 2 mg/L of CIT; 10 mg/L of FB1, FB2, T-2, HT-2 and ZEN; 100 mg/L of DON, ENNA, ENNA1, ENNB, ENNB1 and BEA and 1000 mg/L of F-X) were prepared by combining suitable aliquots of each individual standard stock solution. These solutions were stored at −20 °C.
Nylon syringe filters (13 mm, 0.22 μm, from VWR) were used for filtration of extracts prior to the injection into the chromatographic system.
Mycotoxin Standard Preparation Protocol
Analytical Standards of Mycotoxins
Analytical Standards Preparation for Mycotoxin Analysis
Analytical standards of the following mycotoxins (HPLC purity > 98%): AFB1, AFB2, AFG1, AFG2, BEA, dDON, ENNA, ENNA1, ENNB, ENNB1, FB1, FB2, FUS-X, HT-2, NEO, OTA, T-2, α-ZEL, α-ZAL, β-ZEL, β-ZAL, ZAN and ZEN were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (Milan, Italy).
For each analytical standard, a stock solution was prepared by dissolving 1 mg in 1 mL of MeOH. Afterwards, working solutions were built by properly diluting in MeOH/H2O (70:30 v/v) 0.1% formic acid until reaching the desired concentrations for spiking experiments (50, 25 and 10 µg/kg). Working solutions were stored in securely closed vials at −20 °C.
Mycotoxin Analysis by HPLC-MS/MS
Multitoxin Simultaneous Quantification
A multitoxin maize reference material (QCM7C1, Biopure, Romer Labs, Tulln, Austria) was used for checking the extraction method accuracy.
Individual stock solutions for each mycotoxin were prepared in acetonitrile. Further dilutions and mixtures were prepared in methanol. All solutions were stored at −20 °C.
Mycotoxin Detection Using MWCNT Sorbent
MWCNTs (average diameters between 40 and 60 nm, average length of >5 μm, specific surface area of 40–70 m2/g) were provided by Shenzhen Nanotech Port Co., Ltd. (Shenzhen, China). For the filtration of samples before the chromatographic analysis, nylon syringe filters, 0.22 µm × 25 mm (Agela Technologies, New York, NY, USA) were used.
Mycotoxin Analysis in Food Samples
Mycotoxin standards and metabolites, namely aflatoxins (AFB1, AFB2, AFG1, and AFG2), HT-2 toxin (HT-2), T-2 toxin (T-2), neosolaniol (NEO), zearalenone (ZEN), α-zearalenol (α-ZEL), β-zearalenol (β-ZEL), zearalanone (ZAN), beauvericin (BEA) and enniatins (ENNA, ENNA1, ENNB, and ENNB1) were purchased from Sigma Aldrich (Milan, Italy). Individual stock solutions of all analytes were prepared by diluting 1 mg of each mycotoxin in 1 mL of methanol. The working standard solution including all the mycotoxins was made by adequate diluting in MeOH:H2O (70:30 v/v) 0.1% formic acid to reach the required concentrations for performing the spike experiments: 20, 10 and 2 µg/mL. All solutions were kept in safe conditions at −20 °C.
Mycotoxin Standards and Microcomposite Synthesis
For the synthesis of the microcomposite, pyrrole, iron (III) chloride hexahydrate (FeCl3·6H2O), ammonia solution, iron (II) chloride tetrahydrate (FeCl2·4H2O), sodium perchlorate, and sodium hydroxide reagents were all acquired from Sigma-Aldrich. Milli-Q water was generated by a Millipore Milli-Q system (Bedford, MA, USA).
Formic acid and ammonium acetate were used for the mobile phase. In addition, during the DMSPE procedure optimization, sodium chloride was used. All the reagent above mentioned were supplied by Sigma-Aldrich.
Before chromatographic analysis, sample extract filtration was carried out using 0.22 μm × 25 mm nylon syringe filters purchased from Agilent Technologies (New York, USA).
About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
