This experiment established a method for the simultaneous detection of Zearalenone (ZEN) and Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) in corn using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography with fluorescence detector. The sample was extracted with acetonitrile: 0.2% formic acid water (volume ratio: 80:20) and passed through a Prime HLB 3cc purification column. Liquid phase detection conditions: The chromatographic column is Agilent C18 (150mm×4.6mm,5μm) The mobile phase is acetonitrile: water (volume ratio: 80:20). The retention time is qualitative and the external standard method is quantitative. The results showed that the correlation coefficients for ZEN 20~1000ng/mL and AFB1 1~50ng/mL were 0.9989 and 0.9976, respectively, and the detection limits were 5μg/kg and 0.8 μg/kg, with an average spiked recovery of 92.7% to 106.2%. This study combines the detection methods in the current two national standards into one, which can simultaneously achieve rapid and synchronous detection of ZEN and AFB1 in corn. The required extraction and detection time is reduced from 60 minutes to 30 minutes, which is 50% less than the original time. The detection results have high accuracy and good stability.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
