In this study, we aimed to establish a method for determination of multiple mycotoxins such as aflatoxins, ochratoxin A, and zearalenone in red pepper powder samples based on the quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe (QuEChERS) approach for extraction and cleanup, with detection and quantification by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) in both positive- and negative-ion modes. The developed LC-MS/MS analytical method was compared with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to improve the reliability of our developed method. The linearity, precision, and accuracy were validated for the LC-MS/MS methods. The results obtained with the LC-MS/MS were linear, with a correlation coefficient (R) of >0.998. The limits of detection and quantification for mycotoxins were 0.07 to 0.71 μg/kg and 0.20 to 1.81 μg/kg, respectively. Intra- and interday precision tests (expressed as the relative standard deviation) for each analyte were 1.58 to 5.97% and 0.97 to 9.01%, respectively. Average recoveries were 85.70 to 94.99%. The validation results for the ELISA were linear (R > 0.995), and recoveries were 77.13 to 93.93%. Both analytical methods were applied to determine the presence of mycotoxins in commercial red pepper powder samples from South Korea. Four of the total 56 samples were contaminated with aflatoxins, and 6 samples were contaminated with ochratoxin A; these results were consistent for the two methods (P > 0.05). Therefore, our developed LC-MS/MS with QuEChERS approach for determination of multiple mycotoxins may be useful for controlling the quality and safety of red pepper powder.
在本研究中,我们旨在基于快速、简便、廉价、高效、耐用且安全(QuEChERS)的提取和净化方法,建立一种测定红辣椒粉样品中多种霉菌毒素(如黄曲霉毒素、赭曲霉毒素A和玉米赤霉烯酮)的方法,并通过正离子和负离子模式的高效液相色谱-串联质谱(LC-MS/MS)进行检测和定量。将所开发的LC-MS/MS分析方法与酶联免疫吸附测定(ELISA)进行比较,以提高所开发方法的可靠性。对LC-MS/MS方法的线性、精密度和准确度进行了验证。LC-MS/MS获得的结果呈线性,相关系数(R)>0.998。霉菌毒素的检测限和定量限分别为0.07至0.71μg/kg和0.20至1.81μg/kg。每种分析物的日内和日间精密度测试(以相对标准偏差表示)分别为1.58%至5.97%和0.97%至9.01%。平均回收率为85.70%至94.99%。ELISA的验证结果呈线性(R>0.995),回收率为77.13%至93.93%。两种分析方法均用于测定来自韩国的市售红辣椒粉样品中霉菌毒素的存在情况。在总共56个样品中,有4个被黄曲霉毒素污染,6个被赭曲霉毒素A污染;两种方法的这些结果一致(P>0.05)。因此,我们开发的采用QuEChERS方法的LC-MS/MS用于测定多种霉菌毒素,可能有助于控制红辣椒粉的质量和安全性。
