Abstract

HAL is a multidisciplinary open access archive for the deposit and dissemination of scientific research documents, whether they are published or not. The documents may come from teaching and research institutions in France or abroad, or from public or private research centers. L'archive ouverte pluridisciplinaire HAL, est destinée au dépôt et à la diffusion de documents scientifiques de niveau recherche, publiés ou non, émanant des établissements d'enseignement et de recherche français ou étrangers, des laboratoires publics ou privés.

Determination of aflatoxins in animal feeds by liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry with isotope dilution

“…The common solvent systems used for aflatoxin analysis include methanol/water or acetonitrile/water in a variety of matrices. In our study, extraction solvent as methanol/water (70/30 v/v) or acetonitrile/water (84/16 v/v) was examined for the extraction efficiency of selected matrices that had been spiked with 10 ng g −1 aflatoxin standards.…”

Application of zeolites in aquaculture industry: a review

“…No fatal case arising from the oral uptake of any of these zeolites has been identified. As a feed additive, zeolites including clinoptilolite have been extensively used so far in poultry and livestock (in cows, pigs, sheep and hens) to positively influence growth and reproductive performance (Olver 1997;Kyriakis et al 2002;Karamanlis et al 2008;Incharoen et al 2009;Parizadian Kavan et al 2013) and faeces consistency, to have antibacterial property (Maeda & Nos e 1999), to reduce, prevent and/or treat certain farm animal diseases including diarrhoea, improve general health and allow better performance of intestinal microflora (Vrzgula et al 1982;Rodr ıguez-Fuentes et al 1997;Papaioannou et al 2002Papaioannou et al , 2004Papaioannou et al , 2005Trckova et al 2004;Rowghani et al 2007;Al-Nasser et al 2011;Colella 2011;Prvulovi c et al 2014;Beltcheva et al 2015), to decrease the uptake and accelerate the excretion of radio-caesium (Forberg et al 1989;Unsworth et al 1989;Jandl & Novosad 1995), to reduce the ammonia and heavy metals concentration (Vrzgula et al 1982;Pond & Yen 1983;Jacobi et al 1984;Pond et al 1993;Beltcheva et al 2015) and to bound mycotoxins and aflatoxins (Harvey et al 1993;Parlat et al 1999;Miazzo et al 2000;Huwig et al 2001;Diaz et al 2004;Kabak et al 2006;Magnoli et al 2008;Gallo et al 2010;Oguz 2011…”

The Evolutionary Dynamics in the Research on Aflatoxins During the 2001-2010 Decade

“…The potential pre-analytical sources of error in the quantification of aflatoxins in foods were also considered in the 2001-2010 decade. Gallo et al (2010) highlighted the possibility of underestimating the food contamination with aflatoxins by inefficient extraction procedures in cattle feed containing adsorbents. Brera and co-workers (2010) emphasized the use of proper sampling methods throughout the agri-food chain when it comes to effectively detecting contaminants in foods and feeds.…”
