Popis: The natural occurrence in corn of carcinogenic mycotoxins, the fumonisins, has prompted the development of potential decontamination procedures. Chemical treatment of fumonisin B 1 (FB 1 )-contaminated corn with calcium hydroxide [Ca(OH) 2 ] results in the base hydrolysis of FB 1 (the major naturally occurring fumonisin analogue) to yield its corresponding aminopentol (AP 1 ) and tricarballylic acid (TCA) moieties. Complete hydrolysis proceeds in a sequential reaction involving the removal of one TCA group and the formation of a partially hydrolyzed moiety (PH1), which exists as an equilibrium mixture of the two possible monoesters. PH1 was prepared by the treatment of Fusarium moniliforme culture material with Ca(OH) 2 and subsequently isolated and purified using chromatographic methods. PH 1 was also prepared, using similar methods, from pure FB 1. The identity of the PH 1 moiety was determined by liquid chromatography-electrospray mass spectrometry.
