Abstract
A postcolumn derivatization method was tried for the simultaneous determination of four major aflatoxins ($B_1,\;B_2,\;G_1,\;and\;G_2$) by high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection. As compared with a previous precolumn derivatization method, it was found that the postcolumn derivatization combined with an electrochemical cell (Kobra cell) was less time-consuming, safer, improved the sensitivity and selectivity, and provided good recoveries for aflatoxin $B_1$ (88.9%) and $G_1$ (100.5%). This method showed linearity from 10~100 ppb for aflatoxin $B_1\;and\;G_1$, and from 3~30 ppb for aflatoxin $B_2\;and\;G_2$. However, aflatoxin Bz and Gz were not detected satisfactorily although they showed good resolution.
HPLCdp 의한 주요 afltoxins(aflatoxins $B_1,\;B_2,\;G_1\;및\;G_2$)의 동시 분석에서 postcolumn 유도체화법을 시도하였다. Electrochemical cell (Kobra-cell)을 사용한 postcolumn 유도체화법은 기존의 precolumn 유도체화법보다 분석시간을 단축하였으며 (약 1/2 단축), 더 안전하고 , 향상된 분석능을 보였다. Aflatoxin $B_1과\;G_1의$ 경우 10~100ppb에서, 그리고 B_2와\;G_2의$ 경우 3~30 ppb에서 직선성을 나타내었다. Aflatoxin $B_1과\;G_1은$ 각각 88.9% 및 100.5%로 양호한 회수율을 보였다. Aflatoxin $B_2와\;G_2의$ 경우 분리도는 우수하였으나 회수율에있어서 변이가 크게 나타났다.
