Quantification of mycotoxins in foodstuffs is extremely difficult as a limited amount of toxins are known to be presented in the food samples. Mycotoxins are secondary toxic metabolites, made primarily by fungal species, contaminating feeds and foods. Due to the presence in globally used grains, it is an unpreventable problem that causes various acute and chronic impacts on human and animal health. Over the previous few years, however, progress has been made in mycotoxin analysis studies. Easier techniques of sample cleanup and advanced chromatographic approaches have been developed, primarily high-performance liquid chromatography. Few extremely sophisticated and adaptable tools such as high-resolution mass spectrometry and gas chromatography-tandem MS/MS have become more important. In addition, Immunoassay, Advanced quantitative techniques are now globally accepted for mycotoxin analysis. Thus, this review summarizes these traditional and highly advance methods and their characteristics for evaluating mycotoxins.
由于已知食品样本中存在的毒素量有限,因此对食品中的霉菌毒素进行定量分析极其困难。霉菌毒素是主要由真菌产生的次生有毒代谢产物,会污染饲料和食品。由于全球使用的谷物中都存在霉菌毒素,这是一个不可避免的问题,会对人类和动物健康造成各种急性和慢性影响。然而,在过去几年中,霉菌毒素分析研究取得了进展。已经开发出更简便的样品净化技术和先进的色谱方法,主要是高效液相色谱法。一些极其精密且适应性强的工具,如高分辨率质谱仪和气相色谱-串联质谱/质谱仪,变得更加重要。此外,免疫测定法、先进的定量技术现在在全球范围内已被接受用于霉菌毒素分析。因此,本综述总结了这些传统和高度先进的方法及其评估霉菌毒素的特点。
