Simultaneous detection of airborne Aflatoxin, Ochratoxin and Zearalenone in a poultry house by immunoaffinity clean-up and high-performance liquid chromatography

Validation of a UHPLC-FLD method for the simultaneous quantification of aflatoxins, ochratoxin A and zearalenone in barley

“…Göbel and Lusky (2004) (Göbel & Lusky, 2004), developed a method for the simultaneous determination of AFs, OTA and ZEA in rice and rye using IAC as purification technique, pre-column derivatization (adding TFA) and HPLC-FLD analysis; however, the validation of this procedure was not reported. Wang et al (2008) (Wang et al, 2008) reported a method for the analysis of AFs, OTA and ZEA in air filters with IAC, photochemical derivatization (PHRED) and HPLC-FLD analysis. Ofitserova, Nerkar, Pickering and Torma (2009) (Ofitserova, Nerkar, Pickering & Torma, 2009) developed a method for the simultaneous analysis of 9 mycotoxins in corn, including AFs, OTA and ZEA, with HPLC-FLD in 60 minutes.…”

Development of a multiple immunoaffinity column for simultaneous determination of multiple mycotoxins in feeds using UPLC–MS/MS

“…There have been a number of analytical methods developed for monitoring mycotoxin levels in feeds and range from enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) [10] and antibody-based test strips [11] to various chromatographic methods including gas chromatography (GC) and liquid chromatography (HPLC) [12] coupled with mass spectrometry (MS) [13]. ELISA and mycotoxin test strips are the most rapid procedures but are of limited value if quantitative determinations are necessary.…”

Targeted Inspection of Environmental Mycological Load for Mitigation of Indoor Mold toward Improved Public Health

“…The skin or gastrointestinal tract may become infested with mold and fungal substrates, and inhalation of fungal units and spore-borne toxins are important sources of exposure [7]. Nevertheless, health problems caused by inhaled mycotoxins tend to be more serious than those caused by mycotoxins absorbed via the digestive tract or skin [13][14][15][16]. Creasia et al [25] showed that mycotoxins can be 10 times more toxic through inhalation than by systemic administration in mice.…”

“…Other groups at risk, such as the elderly [9] and young children [10,11], have been noted for their susceptibility to the harmful effects of indoor air and fungi. Both direct fungal infection (mycosis) [7] and toxigenic effects of fungal mycotoxins have been reported [12][13][14][15][16].…”
