Mycotoxins are natural contaminants produced by a range of fungal species. Their common occurrence in food and feed poses a threat to the health of humans and animals. This threat is caused either by the direct contamination of agricultural commodities or by a "carry-over" of mycotoxins and their metabolites into animal tissues, milk, and eggs after feeding of contaminated hay or corn. As a consequence of their diverse chemical structures and varying physical properties, mycotoxins exhibit a wide range of biological effects. Individual mycotoxins can be genotoxic, mutagenic, carcinogenic, teratogenic, and oestrogenic. To protect consumer health and to reduce economic losses, surveillance and control of mycotoxins in food and feed has become a major objective for producers, regulatory authorities and researchers worldwide. However, the variety of chemical structures makes it impossible to use one single technique for mycotoxin analysis. Hence, a vast number of analytical methods has been developed and validated. The heterogeneity of food matrices combined with the demand for a fast, simultaneous and accurate determination of multiple mycotoxins creates enormous challenges for routine analysis. The most crucial issues will be discussed in this review. These are (1) the collection of representative samples, (2) the performance of classical and emerging analytical methods based on chromatographic or immunochemical techniques, (3) the validation of official methods for enforcement, and (4) the limitations and future prospects of the current methods.
Vergleich von in-vitro-Metabolismusmodellen mit in vivo-Daten am Beispiel der Rotkleeisoflavone

Überall, wo sich Schimmel bildet, können hochgiftige Mykotoxine entstehen, besorgniserregende Gifte für Mensch und Tier.
Ungefähr ein Viertel der Weltnahrungsproduktion ist mit diesen schädlichen Stoffen infizier!, so die Ernährung- und Landwirtschaftsorganisation FAQ. Lebensmittel wie Getreide, Mais und Nüsse, die in grollen Mengen verarbeitet werden, sind ein idealer Nährboden für die Bildung von Mykotoxinen und können bereits vor der eigentlichen Verarbeitung kontaminiert sein.
Eine Kontrolle der Lebensmittellieferungen ist also aus Sicherheitsgründen unerlässlich, denn schon geringe Mengen infizierter Lebensmittel können ganze Bestände vergiften. Aufwendige Laborverfahren, die extern von geschultem Fachpersonal durchgeführt werden und daher mehrere Tage dauern, bedeuten hohe Kosten für die verarbeitende Industrie. Die Aokin AG aus Berlin hat mit der Automatisierung des „aokinmycontrol-Systems den Analyseprozess industrietauglich gemacht.
Hexabromocyclododecane enantiomers: microsomal degradation and patterns of hydroxylated metabolites
(2011)
The degradation of the enantiomers of α-, β-, and γ-hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD) by phase I metabolism was investigated using induced rat liver microsomes. HBCD isomers were quantified using HPLC-MS/MS (ESI-) after separation on a combination of a reversed phase and a chiral analytical column. The degradation of all six isomers followed first-order kinetics and the estimated half-lives ranged from 6.3 min for both β-HBCD enantiomers to 32.3 min in case of (+)-γ-HBCD. (+)-α- and (–)-γ-HBCD displayed significantly shorter half-lives than their corresponding antipodes. It could be shown that this degradation led to a significant enrichment of the first eluting enantiomers (–)-α- and (+)-γ-HBCD. Individual patterns of mono- and dihydroxylated derivatives obtained from each α- and γ-HBCD enantiomer were seen to be distinctly characteristic. The patterns of monohydroxylated HBCD derivatives detected in liver and muscle tissues of pollack, mackerel and in herring gull eggs were largely similar to those observed in the in vitro experiments with rat liver microsomes. This enabled individual hydroxy-HBCDs to be assigned to their respective parent HBCD enantiomers.
