4 Preparation of Mycotoxin Standards

互联网

707
The detection and quantitation of mycotoxins requires pure standards or standards for which the purity and identity are known. Methods for identifying and calibrating standards are necessary. Few commercial sources exist for the mycotoxins discussed in this volume, and for most mycotoxins, specifications of purity are not available. If primary standards are not available commercially, other sources may be investigators who have isolated standard materials which they may be willing to share. As a last resort, it may become necessary to isolate mycotoxins from appropriate fungal cultures. Calibration and purity tests have been developed based on physical and chemical properties such as melting points, visible/ultraviolet, nuclear magnetic, and infrared spectros-copy and mass spectrometry, and various methods of chromatography. Standards are quite expensive, and regardless of the source, the purity and authenticity can be variable. Analysts are responsible for calibrating the standards used in analysis. Procedures have been developed for this purpose (1 ). The present protocol outlines the preparation, calibration, purity determination, preparation of solutions, distribution, storage, and uses of quantitative aflatoxin standards, and is intended as a guide for application to other mycotoxins which are used in the protocols in this volume. The amounts needed for most methods of analysis and for fortifying various matrixes for use as laboratory test or control samples, are in the nanogram or microgram ranges. The protocols given are for the aflatoxins B1, B2 , G1 , and G2 . Mycotoxins standards other than the aflatoxins may be prepared in the same way using the information provided in Table 1 . For some mycotoxins, such as the fumonisins and deoxynivalenol, UV spectroscopy cannot be used due to the lack of a suitable chromophore in the molecule. For these molecules, use gravimetric methods combined with gas chromatography, liquid chromatography, and/or mass spectrometry.
