The aim of this study was to determine the content of ochratoxin A (OTA) using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) in selected food products, in the aspect of consumer health hazards. In the study 473 samples of food products, available on the Silesia market in Poland, were analyzed. For the determination of ochratoxin A in food, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with fluorescence detection was used. Almost 22% of the samples were contaminated with ochratoxin A. The highest concentration of OTA was determined in raisins (34.0 μg/kg), which exceeds the permissible level 3.5 times. In one of the analyzed rye flour samples ochratoxin A was determined at level 19.5 μg/kg, where the maximum level is 3 μg/kg. For the general population, there is a risk of exposure to ochratoxin A from food, which justifies the need to monitor the quality of products for mycotoxin contamination.
本研究旨在使用高效液相色谱法(HPLC)测定消费者健康危害方面选定食品中的赭曲霉毒素 A(OTA)含量。在研究中,分析了波兰西里西亚市场上的 473 种食品样品。为了测定食品中的赭曲霉毒素 A,使用了带有荧光检测的高效液相色谱法(HPLC)。近 22%的样品受到赭曲霉毒素 A 的污染。在葡萄干(34.0μg/kg)中检测到的 OTA 浓度最高,超过允许水平 3.5 倍。在分析的一种黑麦粉样品中,赭曲霉毒素 A 的含量为 19.5μg/kg,而最大限量为 3μg/kg。对于一般人群来说,从食物中接触赭曲霉毒素 A 的风险是存在的,这证明了需要监测产品中霉菌毒素污染的质量。
