RT Journal Article T1 Application of a multi-toxin detect method to analyze mycotoxins occurrence in plant-based beverages A1 Rodríguez Cañás, Inés A1 González Jartín, Jesús María A1 Alfonso Rancaño, María Amparo A1 Alvariño Romero, Rebeca A1 Rodríguez Vieytes, Mercedes A1 Botana López, Luis Miguel K1 Mycotoxin K1 UHPLC K1 Mass spectrometry K1 Plant-based beverages AB In recent years, plant-based beverages have gained popularity on the market due to environmental and ethical concerns, as well as milk intolerances and allergies. However, raw materials employed in the manufacture of these products are susceptible to mycotoxin contamination. For this reason, a new method based on a QuEChERS extraction procedure followed by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) detection was developed for the analysis of 29 mycotoxins in oat, rice, soy, and almond beverages. The method was validated in terms of linearity, detection and quantification limits, matrix effect, recoveries, accuracy and precision. Satisfactory performance characteristics were achieved, with recoveries above 70% for most mycotoxins. Several commercial samples were analyzed, aflatoxins were frequently detected in rice and almond beverages, while T-2 and HT-2 toxins were identified in oat-based products. In addition, emerging mycotoxins such as enniatins and beauvericin were detected in the four types of beverages PB Elsevier YR 2024 FD 2024 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10347/33114 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10347/33114 LA eng NO Food Chemistry, Volume 434, 2024, 137427 NO The research leading to these results has received funding from the following FEDER cofunded-grants.
