Popis: A sensitive and selective analytical method for the simultaneous separation and quantitative determination of aflatoxins B1, B2, G1 and G2 in foodstuffs and materials for feed has been validated. The method is based on high performance liquid chromatography with on-line post-column photochemical derivatization and fluorescence detection. The chromatographic separation of aflatoxins was accomplished using a C18 column eluted with an isocratic mobile phase consisting of water, methanol and acetonitrile. The sample preparation required a simple extraction of aflatoxins with MeOH/H2O (80:20, v/v) and a purification step by immunoaffinity column cleanup. The total analysis time, including sample preparation and chromatographic separation, did not exceed 40 min with a run time of 10 min. The on-line photochemical derivatization ensures better results in terms of simplicity, sensitivity and reproducibility with respect to chemical derivatization techniques, and provides an increase of the peak resolution and an ...
