Foodstuffs - Determination of citrinin in food by HPLC-MS/MS

This document describes a procedure for the determination of the citrinin content in food (cereals, red yeast rice (RYR)), herbs and food supplements by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS).
This method has been validated for citrinin in red yeast rice and in the formulated food supplements in the range of 2,5 μg/kg to 3 000 μg/kg and in wheat flour in the range of 2,5 μg/kg to 100 μg/kg.
Laboratory experiences have shown that this method is also applicable to white rice, herbs such as a powder of ginkgo biloba leaves and the formulated food supplements in the range of 2,5 μg/kg to 50 μg/kg.

Lebensmittel - Bestimmung von Citrinin in Lebensmitteln mit HPLC-MS/MS

Dieses Dokument beschreibt ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung des Citriningehalts in Lebensmitteln (Getreide, rotem Reis [RYR, en: red yeast rice]), Kräutern und Nahrungsergänzungsmitteln mittels Flüssigchromato¬graphie und Tandem Massenspektrometrie (LC MS/MS).
Dieses Verfahren wurde für Citrinin in rotem Reis und in entsprechend zusammengesetzten Nahrungsergänzungsmitteln im Bereich von 2,5 μg/kg bis 3 000 μg/kg sowie für Citrinin in Weizenmehl im Bereich von 2,5 μg/kg bis 100 μg/kg validiert.
Laborerfahrungen haben gezeigt, dass dieses Verfahren auch auf weißen Reis, auf Kräuter wie Ginkgo-Biloba-Blätter in Pulverform und entsprechend zusammengesetzte Nahrungsergänzungsmittel im Bereich von 2,5 μg/kg bis 50 μg/kg anwendbar ist.

Produits alimentaires - Dosage de la citrinine dans les produits alimentaires par CLHP-SM/SM

Le présent document décrit un mode opératoire de détermination de la teneur en citrinine dans les aliments [céréales, levure de riz rouge (LRR)], les herbes aromatiques et les compléments alimentaires par chromatographie liquide couplée à une spectrométrie de masse en tandem (CL-SM/SM).
Cette méthode a été validée pour la citrinine dans la levure de riz rouge et dans les compléments alimentaires à base de levure de riz rouge dans la gamme de concentration de 2,5 μg/kg à 3 000 μg/kg et dans la farine de blé dans la gamme de concentration de 2,5 μg/kg à 100 μg/kg.
Les expériences en laboratoire ont montré que cette méthode est également applicable au riz blanc, aux herbes aromatiques telles que les feuilles de Ginkgo biloba en poudre et aux compléments alimentaires formulés dans la gamme de concentration de 2,5 μg/kg à 50 μg/kg.

Introduction
The mycotoxin citrinin is a polyketide secondary metabolite produced mainly post-harvest in food and
feed by several fungi of the genera Penicillium (e.g. P. citrinum), Aspergillus (e.g. A. candidus), and
Monascus (e.g. M. purpureus). Citrinin occurs mainly in stored grains like rice, maize, wheat, barley, oats,
and rye. Citrinin can be found as a contaminant in red fermented rice with Monascus purpureus and its
formulated dietary supplements.
WARNING 1 — Suitable precaution and protection measures need to be taken when carrying out working
steps with harmful chemicals. The latest version of the hazardous substances ordinance, Regulation (EC)
No 1907/2006 [5] should be taken into account as well as appropriate National statements.
WARNING 2 — The use of this document can involve hazardous materials, operations and equipment.
This document does not purport to address all the safety problems associated with its use. It is the
responsibility of the user of this document to establish appropriate safety and health practices and
determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
WARNING 3 — Citrinin is known to have nephrotoxic properties, damaging the proximal tubules of the
kidney [6].

4 Principle
A test portion is humidified with a hydrochloric acid aqueous solution and extracted with ethyl
acetate/acetonitrile/glacial acetic acid mixture for 60 min. Magnesium sulfate and sodium chloride are
added to the extract, agitated and centrifuged in order to expel water and allow phase separation from
the mixture. An aliquot of supernatant is collected, filtered, internal standard (ISTD) solution is added
and analysed by reversed phase LC-MS/MS. Quantification is based on matching citrinin/citrinin- C
ratios and citrinin concentrations.
