Deoxynivalenol (DON) is one of most widespread mycotoxins in cereal commodities, and animal feed is prevalently contaminated at high concentrations. This poses a problem in animal nutrition as especially pigs are very sensitive to DON. An effective process for the reduction of the DON concentration is the treatment of contaminated feed with sodium bisulfite (SBS) whereby DON is transformed into DON-sulfonate (DONS). Although the success of this treatment has been confirmed in several feeding studies, it is unexplained if the decrease of DON is accompanied with a coincident increase of DONS. For this reason, we developed a method for the analysis of DONS using hydrophilic interaction chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry. In order to investigate the correlation between DON and DONS concentrations during SBS-treatment, DON-contaminated wheat was treated with SBS and stored for up to 36 days. At defined timepoints of this treatment, samples were analyzed for DON and DONS using stable isotope labeled standards. The preparation, purification, and structure elucidation of DONS, and the HILIC-HPLC-MS/MS method for the analysis of DONS as well as the results of two storage experiments are presented in this paper.
脱氧雪腐镰刀菌烯醇(DON)是谷物商品中分布最广泛的霉菌毒素之一,动物饲料中普遍存在高浓度污染。这对动物营养构成了一个问题,因为猪对 DON 特别敏感。用亚硫酸氢钠(SBS)处理污染饲料是降低 DON 浓度的有效方法,在此过程中 DON 转化为 DON-硫酸盐(DONS)。尽管这一处理在多项饲养研究中已得到证实,但 DON 浓度降低是否伴随着 DONS 浓度的巧合增加尚不清楚。出于这个原因,我们开发了一种使用亲水相互作用色谱法结合串联质谱法分析 DONS 的方法。为了研究 SBS 处理过程中 DON 和 DONS 浓度之间的相关性,用 SBS 处理受 DON 污染的小麦,并储存长达 36 天。在处理的特定时间点,使用稳定同位素标记标准品分析样品中的 DON 和 DONS。本文介绍了 DONS 的制备、纯化和结构解析,以及用于分析 DONS 的亲水作用色谱-高效液相色谱-串联质谱法,以及两项储存实验的结果。
