Citrinin (CIT) is a scarcely studied mycotoxin within foodstuffs, so the biomonitoring of this toxin and its metabolite dihydrocitrinone (DH-CIT) in biological samples represents the main alternative to estimate the exposure. Hence, this study aimed to evaluate the presence of CIT and DH-CIT in 300 urine samples from Italian individuals in order to assess the exposure. Quantification was performed through an ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography high-resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC-Q-Orbitrap HRMS)-based methodology. CIT was quantified in 47% of samples 300) up to 4.0 ng/mg Crea (mean = 0.29 ng/mg Crea), whereas DH-CIT was quantified in 21% of samples up to 2.5 ng/mg Crea (mean = 0.39 ng/mg Crea). Considering different age groups, average exposure ranged from 8% to 40% of the provisional tolerable daily intake, whereas four individuals surpassed the limits suggested by the European Food Safety Authority. These results revealed non-negligible exposure levels to CIT, encouraging further investigation in foodstuffs monitoring studies.
桔青霉素(CIT)是食品中研究较少的真菌毒素,因此在生物样本中对该毒素及其代谢物二氢桔青霉素(DH-CIT)进行生物监测是估计暴露量的主要替代方法。因此,本研究旨在评估意大利个体的 300 份尿液样本中 CIT 和 DH-CIT 的存在情况,以评估暴露情况。通过基于超高效液相色谱-高分辨率质谱(UHPLC-Q-Orbitrap HRMS)的方法进行定量。在 47%的样本中定量了 CIT(范围为 300)至 4.0ng/mgCrea(平均值为 0.29ng/mgCrea),而在 21%的样本中定量了 DH-CIT,最高达 2.5ng/mgCrea(平均值为 0.39ng/mgCrea)。考虑到不同的年龄组,平均暴露水平从暂定每日耐受摄入量的 8%到 40%不等,而有 4 个人超过了欧洲食品安全局建议的限值。这些结果显示 CIT 的暴露水平不容忽视,鼓励在食品监测研究中进一步调查。
