Sažetak
Mycotoxins are group of toxic secondary metabolites produced by moulds and there is more than 400 different mycotoxins known. They can be found in food as a result of fungal infestation of crops, directly eaten by humans or used as a livestock feed. Due to their toxicity, there were established regulatory limits. From all mycotoxins there are only 13 regulated in Croatia and EU: Aflatoxin B1, B2, G1, G2, M1, Ochratoxin A, Patulin, Deoxynivalenol, Zearalenone, Fumonisin B1, Fumonisin B2, T-2 toxin and HT-2 toxin (last two have only analytical requirements, not maximum tolerable concentration). European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has asked for additional attention for following mycotoxins: Enniantines, Beuvericin, Alternaria toxins, Citrinin, Sterigmatocystine, Moniliformin, Fumonisins, Diacetoxyscirpenol and Phomopsins. In legislation analytical criteria that laboratories for quantification of mycotoxins have to meet are defined (NN 45/08 ; EC 401/2006). Special attention is given to recovery, repeatability, reproducibility and LOD/LOQ. Some older methods cannot meet all criteria, due to some lacks such as low sensitivity, specificity, selectivity and accuracy, while new methods which are using LC-MS/MS techniques can easier meet performance and the results are more reliable due to determining masses of particles, their fragments and quantifier/qualifier ratio.
