A1 - Nehls, Irene T1 - Germination induces the glucosylation of the Fusarium mycotoxin deoxynivalenol in various grains N2 - In food, the mycotoxin deoxynivalenol (DON) often occurs in conjunction with its 3-β-D-glucopyranoside (D3G). The transformation of DON to D3G through glucosylation is catalysed by plant enzymes, however, the exact circumstances are not well understood. In order to investigate the role of enzymatic glucosylation in germinating grains, DON treated kernels were steeped and germinated under laboratory conditions. Furthermore, the effect of malting on the DON content of the contaminated barley was investigated. In all cases, DON and its derivatives were quantified by HPLC-MS/MS before, during and after the experiments. Amongst the six tested cereals; wheat, rye, barley, spelt, and millet transformed DON to D3G during germination whilst the oats were inactive. For wheat, barley, and spelt the initial DON content was reduced by 50%, with the loss being almost entirely accounted for by D3G formation. As D3G might be cleaved during digestion, the elevated D3G concentration may obscure the toxicologically relevant DON content in processed food and beer. The germination process has a major influence on the 'masking' of DON, leading to high quantities of D3G that may be missed in common mycotoxin analyses.

Effective consumer protection therefore essentially depends on food surveillance by reliable quantitative analysis enabled by appropriate quality control. Certified (matrix) reference materials (CRMs) are versatile tools to support Quality assurance. However, in the case of ochratoxin A (OTA), a hepato- and nephrotoxic mycotoxin, which is regulated in various foods, there is a lack of suitable CRMs. This lack has now been overcome by the development of two European Reference Materials (ERM®) for the Determination of OTA in roasted coffee (ERM®-BD475) and red wine (ERM®-BD476). This article discusses the material preparation process as well as the results of homogeneity and stability testing. Furthermore, the results of the inhouse certification studies carried out at BAM Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing are presented and discussed. Interlaboratory comparison studies involving selected expert laboratories with documented Expertise in the field of mycotoxin analysis were conducted to confirm the certified values determined by BAM. The certified ochratoxin A values and their corresponding expanded uncertainties (k = 2) were assigned in full compliance with the requirements of ISO Guide 35 and are as follows: (6.0 ± 0.6) µg kg-1 for roasted coffee, ERM®-BD475, and (0.52 ± 0.11) µg L-1 for red wine, ERM®-BD476.

Kernels from a sample of a wheat harvest affected by Fusarium culmorum were sorted into six groups according to their visual attributes. Milled portions of these groups were analysed by high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence and diode array detection. The clean-up was performed with an immunoaffinity column after methanol/water (4:1, v/v) extraction. The zearalenone content of the unsorted kernel fraction was 74 µg/kg. The group of healthy-looking kernels was contaminated with only 6 µg/kg of zearalenone. The groups of kernels that appeared shrunken and chalky white, damage routinely caused by Fusarium, were contaminated with 170 and 117 µg/kg, respectively. A remarkably high level of zearalenone contamination, 2,184 µg/kg, was observed for the group of reddish kernels. An association between the presence of the red pigment aurofusarin and high levels of zearalenone was found. Therefore, this pigment may be used as a marker of high zearalenone content.

It has been found and analysed in several foods and feeds. Owing to its toxicity and occurrence in food and feed, the European Community has issued directives and some countries have their own regulations for OTA contents in food, feed and beverages. This work describes a method for the determination of OTA in mulled and red wine. It is based on combined anion exchange/reversed-phase clean-up and was analysed by liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (multiple reaction monitoring). The method was validated with natural contaminated and spiked wine samples with OTA contents from 1.34 to 3.48 g kg–1. Owing to its accuracy, good reproducibility and repeatability, this easy method is a good alternative to liquid chromatography–fluorescence detection methods.

The Fusarium-damaged kernels were subdivided into white, shrunken, and red kernel groups, and the remaining kernels were sorted into healthy, black spotted, and nonspecific groups. The distribution patterns of nivalenol, deoxynivalenol, zearalenone, and ergosterol were determined for possible correlations. Significant correlations between the distribution patterns were found for the mycotoxins and ergosterol for the grouped kernels (r = 0.997-0.999, p < 0.0001). Additionally, remarkably outstanding levels of nivalenol (24-fold more than the mean at 1.16 mg/kg), deoxynivalenol (27-fold more than the mean at 0.16 mg/kg), zearalenone (25-fold more than the mean at 77 µg/kg), and ergosterol (17-fold more than the mean at 13.4 mg/kg) were found in the red kernel group. Further, detailed mycotoxin and ergosterol analyses were carried out on various segments (kernel surface, conidia, bran, and flour) of the red kernels. However, the mycotoxin and ergosterol distribution profiles revealed nonsignificant correlations for these kernel segments, with the exception of deoxynivalenol and nivalenol, which were moderately correlated (r = 0.948, p = 0.035).

Therefore, multi-mycotoxin methods have been developed in the last couple of years. To enlarge these methods for further analytes, we have developed a LC-MS/MS method for the quantification of the mycotoxin aurofusarin. Additionally, further LC-MSn experiments were performed to demonstrate the fragmentation pattern of aurofusarin. Applicable multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) transitions of aurofusarin were found and optimized by parameter variation of the tandem mass spectrometer. The applicability of the developed method was tested by analysis of naturally contaminated wheat.

T1 - Feasibility studies for the preparation and certification of reference materials - Part II: Mineral oil contaminated waste materials N2 - The 2-year international joint project HYCREF (Contract-No. G6RD-CT-2002-00854), funded by the European Commission in the 5th Framework programme, aimed to develop methods to prepare homogenous and stable water-, soil- and waste reference materials contaminated with mineral oil hydrocarbons and to test certify the mineral oil content by gas chromatographic methods. As mineral oil products are important sources for environmental contaminations, appropriate reference materials certified by using the new gas chromatographic methods (soil: ISO/FDIS 16703, waste: prEN 14039 and KW/04, water: ISO 9377-2) are highly needed. Additional to the HYCREF-results presented in part I–mineral contaminated soils–this second paper gives an overview of the feasibility study for the preparation and test certification of three waste reference materials (offshore marine sediment, building material and industrial waste). The following specifications, which had been defined in the project work plan, were reached successfully: uncertainty of the mineral oil content resulting from the certification exercise ≤ 5% and a between-bottle inhomogeneity of ≤ 3%. All three materials have been evaluated for long- and short term stability. They contain different levels and types of mineral oil and cover the full application range of ISO/FDIS 16703 and prEN 14039 (100–10,000 mg/kg). The expanded uncertainties U cert of the three materials are about 6%. In this way, they are comparable to ERM®-CC015a (U cert=7.1%, mineral oil in a river sediment) and are suited to close the present gap of commercially available CRM for mineral oil determination in waste.

In addition to instrumental improvements, the development of LC-MS-MS has also been a consequence of the availability of stable isotope internal standards, e.g., 13C-labelled mycotoxins. Thus, the LC-ESI-MS-MS method using a 13C15-deoxynivalenol internal standard as a state-of-the-art technique was selected as a reference procedure for an in-house method comparison study of the determination of deoxynivalenol (DON) in wheat materials. Alternative methods include LC-diode array detection, which is a frequently used routine procedure for DON-analysis, and gas chromatography after trimethylsilylation. For GC application, an electron capture detector and a negative chemical ionisation mass spectrometry detector were used, which have both been well described in the literature. The method comparison was conducted using t test statistics. Additionally, this study also calculates important method performance characteristics, including accuracy, linearity, limit of detection, limit of quantification, recovery, and variation coefficient. Furthermore, this is the first report of a GC-MS method for the determination of DON using a fully carbon-labelled 13C15-DON as an IS. The GC-MS using 13C15-DON as an IS has produced comparable results to the 13C-IS-LC-MS-MS reference method with a similar sensitivity. ECD detection was slightly less sensitive, but is also suited for DON analysis in wheat. Due to the high LOQ, the LC-DAD method seems highly applicable to the measurement of highly contaminated samples.

Most recently, great attention was paid to the migration of epoxidized soybean oil (ESBO) and phthalates from twist-off closures into baby food packed in glass jars. Besides, packaging made of recycled fiber materials such as paper and paperboard were found to be the source of contaminants in dry and powdery foodstuffs such as sugar, rice, and maize flour. In this study 20 infant food samples packed in recycled paperboard containers were tested for phthalates and diisopropyl naphthalenes (DIPN), known incorporated substances in recycled paper. Furthermore, the barrier function of different secondary packaging materials (paper and aluminum-coated foil) was investigated. The highest contents of phthalates (mainly diisobutyl phthalate, DiBP) and DIPN in infant food samples were found for those foods packed in inner bags made of paper. Migration experiments were performed under authentic conditions to evaluate possible transfer mechanism (gas phase, direct contact) of phthalate esters into foodstuff. It is shown that paper does not provide an appropriate barrier against migration of semipolar compounds such as phthalates. The air space itself otherwise effectively prevents migration of the less volatile phthalates under the applied conditions.
