Determination of Aflatoxins in Food by LC/MS/MS Application

چکیده
Aflatoxins (AFs) belong to a closely related group of secondary fungal metabolites. These mycotoxins are severely toxic metabolites produced mainly by Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus, and exposure to them can cause cancer in humans and livestock [1]. Based on epidemiological evidence, AFs have been classified as human liver carcinogens by the World Health Organization and by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Thus, accurate determination of AFs is required to avoid human Determination of Aflatoxins in Food by LC/MS/MS

Method development for simultaneous determination of 41 pesticides in rice using LC-MS/MS technique and its application for the analysis of 60 rice samples collected from Tehran market
For the first time, a multi-residue methodfor simultaneous determination of 41LC-amenable pesticides in rice, belonging to different chemical classes has been developed in Iran by LC-MS/MS. The pesticides were analyzed simultaneously in a single run using positive electrospray ionization with multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) after extraction with slightly modified QuEChERS method. The calibra...

متن کاملIdentification and Quantitation of four Aflatoxins using the Bruker amaZon SL Ion Trap Mass Spectrometer
Aflatoxins are a type of mycotoxin that are toxic and extremely carcinogenic. Food for human consumption and feed for livestock are routinely tested for their presence. A sensitive analytical method for the determination and quantitation of four aflatoxins using the Bruker amaZon SL Ion Trap mass spectrometry system is presented here. Specifically, this method uses LC/MS/MS to quantify aflatoxi...
متن کاملHarmonized Collaborative Validation of Aflatoxins and Sterigmatocystin in White Rice and Sorghum by Liquid Chromatography Coupled to Tandem Mass Spectrometry
An interlaboratory study was performed in eight laboratories to validate a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) method for the simultaneous determination of aflatoxins and sterigmatocystin (STC) in white rice and sorghum (Sorghum bicolor). Fortified samples (at three different levels) of white rice and sorghum were extracted, purified through a solid-phase extraction (SPE) ...
