RT Journal Article T1 Simultaneous Determination of Aflatoxins B1, B2, G1 and G2 IN Commercial Rices Using Immunoaffinity Column Clean-UP and HPLC-MS/MS A1 Romero Sánchez, Iván A1 Ramírez García, Lorena A1 Gracia Lor, Emma A1 Madrid Albarrán, María Yolanda AB Rice is frequently contaminated with aflatoxins, that are highly toxic fungal substances and strongly involved on hepatic cancer. In this work, different extraction and clean-up methods were evaluated for the simultaneous extraction and clean-up of aflatoxins B1, B2, G1 and G2 from rice. Favourable results were obtained by using methanol – water (80:20, v/v) extraction followed by immunoaffinity columns for clean-up, with recoveries of 86–92%, standard deviations between 5 and 11%, LOD ranged between 0.09 and 0.32 µg/kg, and LOQ between 0.31 and 1.06 µg/kg. Method validation and sample analysis were performed by using HPLC-MS/MS. Nine rice samples from different origin, varieties and specific characteristics, acquired in Spanish supermarkets were analysed. In two basmati samples from the same batch aflatoxin B1 was detected at (1.62 ± 0.08) µg/kg and (0.77 ± 0.03) µg/kg, both lower than the levels established by European Regulation for aflatoxin B1 in cereals.
