Analysis of Mycotoxins in Multi-Grain and Corn Cereals without Derivatization by LC-MS/MS Using Time-Managed MRMs

Mycotoxins in feed, crops and various foods are known to pose a serious health hazard to both livestock and humans. They are produced by fungi as toxic secondary metabolites, with grains, maize and cereals being particularly vulnerable. With this in mind, and considering that an estimated 25% of all crops show some signs of mycotoxin contamination, many countries have established regulatory guidelines for maximum mycotoxin limits in not only feed and grain, but also in processed food products, notably cereal and baby food.

The presented work details an effective, reliable and robust LC-MS/MS method, using time-managed MRM (Multiple Reaction Monitoring) transitions, for the monitoring of mycotoxins in multi-grain and corn cereals at low μg/kg levels, without the need for derivatization.
