    The investigation of the mycotoxin bioaccumulation in human and animals is of wide relevance due to the potential toxicity associated with these secondary metabolites. This study proposes an analytical methodology consisting of salting-out liquid–liquid extraction (SALLE) followed by dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction (DLLME) for the determination of 13 mycotoxins: aflatoxins (G1, G2, B1 and B2), enniatins (A, A1, B and B1), beauvericin, HT-2 and T-2 toxins, zearalenone and deoxynivalenol, in human and animal liver. A targeted analysis was performed by high-performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS), as well as the screening of derived metabolites by ultrahigh performance LC and high-resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC-HRMS). The proposed method was in-home validated, and trueness was verified by apparent recovery studies with values between 94 and 110 %. Furthermore, suitable linearities were obtained by the proposed method for all the mycotoxins and detection and quantification limits allow the mycotoxin monitoring at the low levels expected in biological samples. Repeatability and intermediate precision were calculated at two concentration levels, obtaining values of relative standard deviation below 9.5 %. The proposed methodology allowed to study the bioaccumulation of mycotoxins in both human and animal liver, demonstrating the presence of emergent mycotoxins in all liver samples analyzed, specifically enniatins B, B1 and beauvericin were detected with concentrations up to 4.04 μg/kg.

    Evaluation of distribution of emerging mycotoxins in human tissues: applications of dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction and liquid chromatography‑mass spectrometry
    (Springer, 2023-11-21) Castell Martínez, Ana; Arroyo Manzanares, Natalia; Palma Manrique, Rosa; Campillo Seva, Natalia; Torres, Carmen; Fenoll, José; Viñas López-Pelegrin, Pilar; Química Analítica
    In this work, a complete study of the distribution of emerging mycotoxins in the human body has been carried out. Specifically, the presence of enniatins (A, A1, B, B1) and beauvericin has been monitored in brain, lung, kidney, fat, liver, and heart samples. A unique methodology based on solid–liquid extraction (SLE) followed by dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction (DLLME) was proposed for the six different matrices. Mycotoxin isolation was performed by adding ultrapure water, acetonitrile, and sodium chloride to the tissue sample for SLE, while the DLLME step was performed using chloroform as extraction solvent. Subsequently, the analysis was carried out by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC–MS/MS). The proposed method allowed limits of quantification (LOQs) to be obtained in a range of 0.001–0.150 ng/g, depending on the tissue and mycotoxin. The precision was investigated intraday and interday, not exceeding of 9.8% of relative standard deviation. In addition, trueness studies achieved 75 to 115% at a mycotoxin concentration of 25 ng/g and from 82 to 118% at 5 ng/g. The application of this methodology to 26 forensic autopsies demonstrated the bioaccumulation of emerging mycotoxins in the human body since all mycotoxins were detected in tissues. Enniatin B (ENNB) showed a high occurrence, being detected in 100% of liver (7 ± 13 ng/g) and fat samples (0.2 ± 0.8 ng/g). The lung had a high incidence of all emerging mycotoxins at low concentrations, while ENNB, ENNB1, and ENNA1 were not quantifiable in heart samples. Co-occurrence of mycotoxins was also investigated, and statistical tests were applied to evaluate the distribution of these mycotoxins in the human body.
