Abstract An accurate method was developed for determining ochratoxin A (OTA) in pig kidney using an immunoaffinity column for cleanup and ultra-HPLC/MS/MS for identification and quantification. Mean recoveries of OTA from kidney samples fortified at 0.10–5 μg/kg levels ranged from 74 to 92%, with RSDs of 4.6–7.5%. The LOD was estimated to be 0.03 μg/kg and the LOQ was 0.10 μg/kg based on an S/N in kidney of 3:1 and 10:1, respectively. The developed method was used for the determination of OTA in pig kidney. A survey of the OTA content of pig kidneys slaughtered in Chongqing, China, revealed that 35 out of 40 analyzed samples were contaminated; the OTA concentration in kidney ranged from trace level (0.03–0.1) to 0.323 μg/kg. This method was shown to be useful for accurately evaluating the intake of OTA from pig kidneys.

This study examines the occurrence of aflatoxins (AFS) and ochratoxin A (OTA) in bread and durum wheat samples. A total of 141 samples were collected from eleven different regions of Turkey. An analytical method based on liquid extraction, immunoaffinity column (IAC) clean-up followed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used for the determination of AFs and OTA levels. As a result, AFs and OTA were detected in 2% and 9.2% of wheat samples at concentrations varying from 0.21 to 0.44 µg kg−1 and from 0.1 to 3.2 µg kg−1, respectively. Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) and aflatoxin B2 (AFB2) were found positive in samples ranging between 0.21–0.35 µg kg−1 and 0.094 µg kg−1, respectively. However, none of the samples contained aflatoxin G1 (AFG1) and aflatoxin G2 (AFG2). The study also recommended that contamination levels in wheat and wheat-based products should be routinely monitored in greater sample numbers to insure food safety.
