Detection and Determination of Fumonisins B1, B2, and B3 Contaminating Japanese Domestic Wine by Liquid Chromatography Coupled to Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS).

Detection and Determination of Fumonisins B1, B2, and B3 Contaminating Japanese Domestic Wine by Liquid Chromatography Coupled to Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Curr Microbiol. 2020 Jul 19;: Authors: Nakagawa H, Hashimoto R, Matsuo Y, Sago Y, Yokoyama K, Takahashi H Abstract Nine domestic wine samples collected from a Japanese winery were examined for the presence of fumonisin B1 (FB1), fumonisin B2 (FB2), and fumonisin B3 (FB3), as well as ochratoxin A (OTA) and ochratoxin B (OTB). Wine samples spiked with 13C-labeled internal standards (13C34-FB1 and 13C20-OTA) were diluted with phosphate buffered saline (PBS) buffer, loaded on immunoaffinity cartridges to purify of fumonisins and ochratoxins, and subjected to liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis. The data revealed that the domestic wine samples were possibly contaminated with FB1 and FB3, in addition to FB2, whereas none of the tested wine samples were contaminated with OTA and OTB. These results suggest that Fusarium fungi can be associated with the fumonisin contamination of Japanese domestic wine, whereas Aspergillus niger seems to be frequently reported as the major causal fungus of fumonisin contamination of wine in Europe. Analysis of the intermediate samples during the wine brewing indicated that fumonisin concentrations did not increase during wine production, suggesting that fumonisin contamination did not occur during the ...
