ABSTRACT
Objective To develop a method for the simultaneous determination of 15mycotoxins in peanuts by ultra high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry with QuEChERS EMR-Lipid approach and stable isotope dilution. Methods The samples were extracted by 2% formic acid acetonitrile-water (50 : 50, V/V) and then purified with QuEChERS EMR-Lipid approach.The mycotoxins were fully separated on a pentafluorophenyl column under a gradient elution with methonal-0.01%formic acid aqueous solution.The mycotoxins were analyzed by UPLC-MS/MS with multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode and quantified by isotope internal standard method. Results Fifteen mycotoxins had good linear relationship in the certain correlation ranges with the correlation coefficients all above 0.995 and the detection limits were 0.1－10 μg/kg.The mean recoveries ranged from 81.2% to 115.3% with RSD (n=6) varying from 2.1% to 10.7%. Conclusion The method is simple, highly sensitive, practical, and proves to be suitable for quantitative analysis of 15 mycotoxins in peanuts.
ABSTRACT
A fast, simple and cost-effective UPLC-MS / MS method was established for determination of 16 kinds of mycotoxins in vegetable oils with stable isotope dilution technique. Samples were extracted by acetonitrile-water-acetic acid 84: 15: 1(V/ V) and then diluted using water without any further clean-up steps. The mycotoxins were fully separated on a pentafluorophenyl column. Matrix effects were efficiently compensated by the [ 13 C]-labelled internal standards. The mean recoveries at three different concentration levels ranged from 74. 2％ to 105. 6％ , with RSD varied from 0. 3％ to 13. 9％ . Finally, the method was applied to analyze several kinds of vegetable oil samples. The method was simple, rapid, high sensitive and suitable for the determination of mycotoxins in vegetable oils.
