Traditional Chinese medicine — Determination of ochratoxin A in natural products by liquid chromatography coupled with fluorescence detector

This document specifies the determination of ochratoxin A (OTA) in natural products by the liquid chromatography coupled with fluorescence detector (LC-FLD) method. It is applicable to the analysis of OTA in raw materials and manufactured products, including decoction pieces derived from plants and animals. It is suitable for samples during the processes of harvesting, transportation and storage, as well as domestic and foreign trade for quality classification.

Introduction
Ochratoxins are naturally occurring mycotoxins produced by certain fungi, which can be found
in a variety of agriculture products, contaminated foods and natural medicines, including natural
products, decoction pieces and manufactured products. Ochratoxins are a class of compounds
produced by a variety of Aspergillus ochraceus, Aspergillus niger and Penicillium sp. According to their
discovery sequence, they are called ochratoxin A (OTA), ochratoxin B (OTB) and ochratoxin C (OTC).
Among these, OTA is considered the most toxic. It has been well established that OTA is highly toxic
and carcinogenic. The toxicity of OTA to animals and humans mainly includes kidney toxicity, liver
toxicity, teratogenesis, carcinogenesis, mutation and immunosuppression. There are frequent reports
of detection of toxic OTA in natural products. Therefore, there is a need to standardize the test method
of OTA in natural products, which will bring benefits to the consumers, enterprises and companies in
processing, management and trade of natural products. There are two main methods to detect OTA in
natural products: the liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method and the
liquid chromatography coupled with fluorescence detector (LC-FLD) method. LC-FLD is preferred due
to its high sensitivity, high accuracy and reasonable operating cost.
As national implementation can differ, examples of national, regional and organizational analytical
methods and values are given in Annex A and Annex C.
