“…ZON is soluble in aqueous alkaline solutions, chloroform, acetonitrile and some other organic solvents, whereas insoluble in water, carbon disulfide and carbon tetrachloride. It exhibits fluorescence under ultraviolet (UV) light and the UV absorption maximum wavelengths in methanol are at 236, 274 and 316 nm (Shipchandler 1975). This mycotoxin occurs predominantly in cereal crops as well as related products, such as maize, wheat, oats, barley, foodstuffs and animal feed (Bennet et al 1979;Visconti et al 1998;Saeger et al 2003;Nuryono et al 2005).…”

A HPLC-FLD method has been developed and validated for zearalenone (ZON) in 107 widely consumed Chinese medicinal herbs and related products collected from different regions of China. Samples were extracted with methanol/water (80 : 20, v/v), and the extracts were cleaned-up through immunoaffinity columns (IAC). ZON was quantified by HPLC with fluorescence detection. Recoveries from three different medicinal herbs spiked with ZON at levels ranging from 30 to 600 µg kg(-1) were from 80.8 to 98.3%. The limit of detection was 9.5 µg kg(-1), based on a signal-to-noise ratio of 3 : 1. Naturally occurring ZON was only found in coix seed medicinal herb (all nine samples), with levels ranging from 18.7 to 211.4 µg kg(-1). Positive results were confirmed by UV spectrum and LC-ESI-MS/MS. This is the first report of ZON contamination of a Chinese medicinal herb.

“…The further work on the chemical characterization and synthesis of zearalenone and the products of its metabolism (a-and 13-zearalenol) have been reviewed in [11,12]. The toxin is insoluble in water and stable on heating, which accounts for its activity in the food products and forage fabricated from damaged com.…”
