Detection of aflatoxin D1 in ammoniated corn by mass spectrometry-mass spectrometry.

RESUMO

Corn cultured with Aspergillus flavus to produce a high level of aflatoxin was ammoniated at 37 degrees C for 21 days. An extract of the ammoniated corn was separated by thin-layer chromatography, followed by reversed-phase high-pressure liquid chromatography. Examination of the fractions by tandem mass spectrometry led to detection of aflatoxin D1 as a product of the corn ammoniation process.
