Abstract

Background: Aflatoxins (AFs) are carcinogenic mycotoxins. A simple, quick, and accurate method for the micro-analysis of AFs in foodstuffs, especially spices, is needed. Objective: A sophisticated pretreatment method that combines solid-phase dispersive extraction (SPDE) and solid-phase fluorescence derivatization using immunoaffinity (IA) gel as the solid phase was developed to analyze AFs in spices simply, quickly, and sensitively by liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection. Method: White and black pepper samples were extracted with a mixed solution of methanol/water (4:1) and then diluted with 7% aqueous solution of Triton-X. The solution was subjected to cleanup by SPDE using IA gel. Trifluoroacetic acid was added to the IA gel for on-site solid-phase fluorescence derivatization. Results: Chromatograms containing well-separated peaks and few interference peaks from contaminants were obtained. The method detection limit of AFs in white and black pepper was 0.15–0.29 ng/g. Repeatability and intermediate precision were <10% and <15%, respectively, and accuracy was 61.7–87.8%. In addition, inter-laboratory precision was <29% and mean recovery was 61.5–76.7%. A favorable z-score of jZj ≦ 1 was obtained in seven laboratories, although one laboratory gave 2 < jZj < 3. Conclusions: The validity, reliability, practicality, and robustness of the developed method were verified. Highlights: By using SPDE and solid-phase fluorescence derivatization in combination for AF analysis, fluorescence derivatization during cleanup was realized, leading to simplification of the pretreatment operation.
