Abstract Alternariol (AOH) and alternariol-9-monomethyl ether (AME) are two secondary metabolites of Alternaria fungi which can be found in various foodstuff like tomatoes, nuts, and grains. Due to their toxicity and potential mutagenic activity the need for the development of high-throughput methods for the supervision of AOH- and AME-levels is of increasing interest. As the availability of both native and labeled AOH and AME analytical standards is very limited we herein wish to present a novel concise approach towards their synthesis employing a ruthenium-catalyzed ortho-arylation as the key step. Finally, we demonstrate their suitability as internal standards in stable-isotope dilution assay (SIDA)-HPLC-MS/MS analysis commonly used for the quantification of the natural products in food and feed.

Abstract Vitamin B6 comprises an important set of molecules tightly interwoven with the human amino acid, fatty acid, and carbohydrate metabolism. Analytical methods striving for the quantification of individual B6 vitamers so far mostly rely on methods based on HPLC in combination with fluorescence detection, but their application encounters multiple difficulties due to the chemical divergence of the single vitamers. The present study describes the development of a method based on LC-MS/MS and stable isotope dilution assay (SIDA) for the simultaneous quantification of five vitamers (PN, PL, PM, PMP, and PNG) of the B6 group in food samples. [13C3]-PN, [13C3]-PL, and [13C6]-PNG were applied as internal standards for the analysis of PN, PL, and PNG. PM and PMP were quantified via matrix-matched calibration referring to [13C3]-PN. The developed method was validated using starch matrix. The limits of detection and quantification ranged from 0.0028 to 0.02 mg/kg and from 0.0085 to 0.059 mg/kg, respectively, for all analytes. Calculated recoveries varied from 92 to 111%. Intra-injection precisions ranged from 0 to 9%, inter-day precisions from 4 to 10%, and intra-day precisions from 4 to 10%. A total of 14 plant-based food samples including fruits, vegetables, and cereals were examined for their content of vitamin B6 using the validated method. Furthermore, the first quantitation of PNG without enzymatic steps or divergent internal standards was undertaken utilizing LC-MS/MS and SIDA.

Abstract Isotope dilution analysis was used to quantitate 2- aminoacetophenone in wines exhibiting the so- called untypical aging off-flavor. d3-Aminoacetophe- none was synthesized and used as isotopomeric internal standard. The method of quantitation was verified by several model experiments. In the off-flavored wines studied, amounts of 2-aminoacetophe none ranging from 0.7 to 12.8 μg/L were determined.
