Optimum conditions for formation of aflatoxin M1-trifluoroacetic acid derivative.

Because thin-layer chromatographic (TLC) confirmation of identity and reverse-phase liquid chromatographic (LC) determination with fluorescence detection of aflatoxin M1 both require the derivative formed in the reaction of M1 and trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), various reaction conditions were studied to obtain complete derivative formation. Of the various organic solvents tested, the reaction between M1 and TFA proceeded best in the nonpolar solvents hexane and isooctane. Other parameters investigated were reaction temperature and time, aflatoxin M1 concentration, and solvent volume. The following procedure is considered optimum: 200 microL each of hexane and trifluoroacetic acid are mixed with M1 standard in a silylated glass vial or with milk residue in a regular glass vial with a Teflon-lined screw cap and heated 10 min at 40 degrees C. The mixture is evaporated to dryness under N2, and the derivative is saved for TLC or LC. No unreacted aflatoxin M1 was detected by reverse-phase LC after this procedure was incorporated for analysis of milk samples.
