Abstract
|
|
|
Patulin, a mycotoxin mainly produced by Penicillium and Aspergillus, is found in various foods. In the present, a maximum acceptable level for patulin is established at 50 μg/kg(ppb) in apple juices and apple concentrates
in Korea. But patulin may be detected in foods produced with other fruits. In the present study, patulin contamination
was analyzed in 520 samples of fruit juices and beverages, and 50 samples of fruit juice concentrates. High
performance liquid chromatography(HPLC) was applied to quantitatively analyze patulin levels in samples and liquid
chromatography-mass spectrometry(LC/MS/MS) was used to remove false positive results. The results showed that
three samples of 520 fruit juices and beverages and five samples of 50 fruit juice concentrates were contaminated by
patulin, 9.8 - 18.0 μg/kg and 4.7 - 18.2 μg/kg respectively. Contaminated samples were produced with apple, orange
or pear. This indicates that it is necessary to extend the regulatory range of patulin. In the other hands, the present study
confirmed the effectiveness of LC/MS/MS analytical method to remove false positive results.
