Abstract:Objective This thesis aims at establishing the measure method of aflatoxin in cereals with supercritical fluid extraction-supercritical fluid chromatography-mass spectrometer/mass spectrometer (SFE-SFC-MS/MS) method. Methods Samples were extracted by supercritical CO2-methanol(98∶2,V/V). The analysis was carried out on an Shim-pack UC-X RP C18 column (150 mm×4.6 mm, 3 μm) with isocratic elution using a mobile phase of supercritical CO2 and methanol. Mass spectrometry acquisition was done in the positive ion mode and the analytes were detected in the multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. Results The correlation coefficients of aflatoxin B1, B2, G1 and G2 were above 0.998 in the range of 0.5-20 ng. The method had good linear relation. The recovery rate in samples of rice and corn grit were 92.3%-107.9%,93.0%-106.1%,93.4%-104.9%,92.8%-102.2% respectively, relative standard deviations of 3.0%-4.3%, 3.2%-4.5%, 3.0%-4.6%, 3.0%-4.5%(n=6) respectively. The limit of quantitation was 0.1 μg/kg. Conclusion This method was quick, simple, safe and accurate. It was available for measuring the amount of aflatoxin B1, B2, G1, G2 in cereals.
