“…e response functions for FB 1 , FB 2 , HFB 1 , and HFB 2 showed that all the R 2 were greater than 0.99, suggesting good linearity. e LODs of FBs and HFBs were between 6 and 7 μg/kg, and the LOQs were between 23 and 28 μg/kg [173]; these results showed that the present method was about 4 times more sensitive than that reported by Oliveira et al [174]. In comparison, by using isotope-labeled internal standards, Bryła et al [175] found LOQs of 22 μg/kg for HFBs, which were similarly sensitive as the study of Hu et al [173].…”

In the entire world, cereals and related foodstuffs are used as an important source of energy, minerals, and vitamins. Nevertheless, their contamination with mycotoxins kept special attention due to harmful effects on human health. The present paper was conducted to evaluate published studies regarding the identification and characterization of mycotoxins in cereals and related foodstuffs by liquid chromatography coupled to (tandem) mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) techniques. For sample preparation, published studies based on the development of extraction and clean-up strategies including solid-phase extraction, solid-liquid extraction, and immunoaffinity columns, as well as on methods based on minimum clean-up (quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe (QuEChERS)) technology, are examined. LC-MS/MS has become the golden method for the simultaneous multimycotoxin analysis, with different sample preparation approaches, due to the range of different physicochemical properties of these toxic products. Therefore, this new strategy can be an alternative for fast, simple, and accurate determination of multiclass mycotoxins in complex cereal samples.

“…Then, the hydrolyzed fumonisins can be determined and expressed as total fumonisins. Although this method has been more widely used in maize and maize-based products to measure masked fumonisins [16][17][18], we optimized this alkaline-hydrolysis preparation procedure and developed an LC-MS/MS method to determine FB1, FB2, FB3, and their hydrolyzed metabolites in broiler chicken excreta and feed. Moreover, in our study, HFBs and their corresponding [13C]-internal standards were prepared using the MAX solid-phase-extraction column-purification method after alkaline hydrolysis.…”

An accurate, reliable, and specific method was developed for the quantitative determination of fumonisins B1, B2, B3, and their hydrolyzed metabolites, HFB1, HFB2, and HFB3, in broiler chicken feed and excreta using ultra-performance liquid chromatography combined with tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). The samples were extracted and diluted for the determination of parent fumonisins. Another portion of the extracted samples was alkaline-hydrolyzed and cleaned using a strong anionic exchange adsorbent (MAX) for the determination of hydrolyzed fumonisins. Chromatographic separation was performed on a CORTECS C18 column (2.1 mm × 100 mm, 1.6 μm) using 0.2% formic acid aqueous solution and methanol with 0.2% formic acid as the mobile phase under gradient elution. The six fumonisins, FB1, FB2, FB3, HFB1, HFB2, and HFB3, were analyzed by tandem mass spectrometry using multiple-reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. The six fumonisins showed good linearity, with relative coefficients of r > 0.99. The limits of quantitation (LOQs) were 160 μg/kg. At the low, medium, and high spiked levels, the recovery of fumonisins in chicken feed and excreta ranged from 82.6 to 115.8%, with a precision (RSD) of 3.9–18.9%. This method was successfully applied to investigate the migration and transformation of fumonisins in broiler chickens.

“…However, nutrient and dry matter losses are usually caused by spoilage molds, and mycotoxin contamination may occur at the pre-harvest and post-harvest stages [2][3][4]. Important fungal toxins associated with maize include aflatoxins, which are produced by Aspergillus flavus (AFs); deoxynivalenol (DON), which belongs to the monoterpene group of toxins and is mainly produced by Fusarium graminearum and Fusarium pink, also known as vomitoxins due to their characteristic ability to induce vomiting in animals; fumonisins (FMs), produced by Fusarium verticillioides and Fusarium proliferatum; and zearalenone (ZEA), produced by Fusarium graminearum [5][6][7]. Climate and storage conditions have a significant impact on the production of mycotoxins, and if maize is grown in the tropics and subtropics with high temperatures and humidity, ear and grain rots caused by a variety of fungi are prevalent, causing farmers to suffer substantial economic losses [8].…”

The scientific rationality of farmers’ grain storage technology and equipment is crucial for the biosecurity of grain in the main grain-producing areas represented by Northeast China. In this paper, four farmer grain storage mock silos of different widths were used as a means to track an experimental cycle of grain storage. The absolute water potential of corn in all four silos at the beginning of the experiment was greater than the absolute water potential of air, prompting moisture migration from the grain interior to the air and down to about 14%. Moisture was influenced by wind direction, and moisture decreased faster with better ventilation on both sides of the grain silos. Therefore, grain silo width has a significant effect on the drying effect under naturally ventilated conditions of maize ears. This research focused on the determination and assessment of mycotoxin contamination under farmers’ storage grain conditions and analyzed the effect of silo structure on the distribution of mycotoxin contamination. When the width was too large, areas of high mycotoxin infection existed in the middle of the grain silo, and ventilation and tipping could be used to reduce the risk of toxin production. This study proved that reasonable farmer grain storage techniques and devices in Northeast China can effectively protect grain from mycotoxin contamination.
