TY - JOUR AU - Marley, Elaine AB - Abstract Background Aflatoxins are secondary metabolites produced by a number of species of Aspergillus fungi. Aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) is a hydroxylated metabolite of aflatoxin B1 and is found in the milk of cows fed with feed spoilt by Aspergillus species. AFM1 is carcinogenic, especially in the liver and kidneys, and mutagenic, and is also an immunosuppressant in humans. Objective A high-throughput method for the quantitative analysis of AFM1 that is applicable to liquid milk, cheese, milk protein concentrate (MPC), whey protein concentrate (WPC), whey protein isolate (WPI), and whey powder (WP) was developed and validated. Method AFM1 in cheese, milk, and protein products is extracted using 1% acetic acid in acetonitrile with citrate salts. The AFM1 in the resulting extract is concentrated using RIDA®CREST/IMMUNOPREP® ONLINE cartridges followed by quantification by HPLC‒fluorescence. Results The method was shown to be accurate for WP, WPC, WPI, MPC, liquid milk, and cheese, with acceptable recovery (81–112%) from spiked samples. Acceptable precision for WP, WPC, WPI, MPC, liquid milk, and cheese was confirmed, with repeatabilities of 4–12% RSD and intermediate precisions of 5–13% RSD. Method detection limit and ruggedness experiments further demonstrated the suitability of this method for routine compliance testing. An international proficiency scheme (FAPAS) cheese sample showed that this method gave results that were comparable with those from other methods. Conclusions A method for high-throughput, routine testing of AFM1 is described. The method was subjected to single-laboratory validation and was found to be accurate, precise, and fit-for-purpose. Highlights An automated online immunoaffinity cleanup HPLC‒fluorescence method for milk proteins, cheese, and milk was developed and single-laboratory validated. It allows for high-throughput analysis of AFM1 and can be used for the analysis of AFM1 in whey protein products. The most abundant aflatoxins found in plant-based foods are B1, B2, G1, and G2; they are secondary metabolites produced by species of Aspergillus fungi, particularly A. flavus and A. parasiticus (1). Cows that are fed with stored grain-based feed spoilt by Aspergillus fungi hepatically hydroxylate approximately 5% of the aflatoxin B1 to produce aflatoxin M1 (AFM1, Figure 1), the major aflatoxin metabolite expressed in milk (2–4). Because AFM1 is heat stable, it is potentially found in pasteurized milk and other dairy products derived from contaminated raw milk, and countries therefore require dairy products to be tested for and certified free of AFM1 as a requirement for international trade (5, 6). AFM1 is currently not found in New Zealand as the local climate does not favor Aspergillus growth (pre harvest) and dairy cows in New Zealand are predominantly fed on local pasture or pasture-based silage (7, 8).

AFM1 has been detected in milk and other dairy products produced in many areas around the world, including countries from Africa, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and North and South America (9–13). This compound has been shown to cause hepatocellular carcinomas and renal damage, and is cytotoxic as well as mutagenic (14–17). Because of these adverse health effects, the level of AFM1 allowed in milk and other dairy products is regulated in many countries (6, 11, 13). In the past, AFM1 was analyzed using HPTLC, but is now more commonly analyzed using chromatography with fluorescence detection or MS, or by immunoassay techniques such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, thin film electrochemical biosensors, and optical biosensors (18–23). As AFM1 is usually regulated and present at very low concentrations (ng/L), extracts need to be concentrated using either immunoaffinity or C18 solid phase extraction cartridges before chromatographic analysis (19, 24, 25). For the high-throughput analysis of aflatoxins, R-Biopharm has developed an automated immunoaffinity cartridge system (RIDA®CREST ICE) to replace the manual operation required with conventional immunoaffinity columns (26). This device allows for a higher sample throughput and improved precision, and is less prone to blockage compared with manual immunoaffinity columns. The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a high-throughput method for the routine analysis of AFM1 in whey protein concentrate (WPC), whey protein isolate (WPI), whey powder (WP), milk protein concentrate (MPC), liquid milk, and cheese using RIDACREST ICE coupled to HPLC‒fluorescence.

Samples A sample each of WPC, WPI, WP, and MPC known to be free from AFM1 was used to carry out the AFM1 spiking experiments. A permeate-free, full cream homogenized milk and grated Edam cheese purchased retail were also used to carry out spiking experiments, and an Food Analysis Performance Assessment Scheme (FAPAS) reference cheese sample was used (Fera Science Limited, UK). Sample Preparation Milk protein powders Add milk protein powder (6 ± 0.05 g) to a 125 mL conical flask with 50 mL water. Place the flask on a hot plate stirrer at 50°C and mix with a stir bar for 30 min; then cool to room temperature. Weigh milk protein solution (10 ± 0.05 g) into a 50 mL centrifuge tube and spike at 50 and 100 ng/L. Liquid milk Add milk (10 ± 0.01 g) at ambient temperature directly to a 50 mL centrifuge tube and spike at 50 and 100 ng/L. Cheese Add cheese (5 ± 0.05 g) at ambient temperature to a 50 mL centrifuge tube. Add water (50°C, 10 mL), cool the sample to room temperature, and spike at 50 and 100 ng/L. Sample Extraction Add extraction solution (20 mL) and the salts in one extraction tube to the sample and vortex mix. Shake (200 rpm, 90 min) the sample tubes and centrifuge (3400 rcf, 10 min). Transfer the top acetonitrile layer (2 mL) to a test tube, add one drop of Triton X-100, and dry the sample under N2 at 60°C until a small viscous residue remains. Add reconstitution buffer (2 mL) and vortex mix the test tube. Use a syringe filter if the sample extract is cloudy, prior to transfer of a minimum of 1.5 mL to an autosampler vial.

Method Validation Detector linearity was demonstrated through analysis of multi-level AFM1 standard solutions (n = 4) covering an analyte range from 25 to 150 ng/L and was performed by direct injection bypassing the RIDACREST ICE. Linearity was evaluated by least-squares regression analysis of peak area versus concentration, with acceptable values for r2 of 0.997 being obtained, as shown in Figure 3. Figure 3.

Method recovery was determined by spiking samples of WP, WPC, WPI, MPC, liquid milk, and cheese with 50 and 100 ng/L AFM1, as shown in Table 3. The recovery results fit within the AOAC guidelines of between 70–125% recovery for analytes present at 10 µg/L or less (27). Table 3.

The FAPAS cheese sample had an assigned value of 2.005 ± 0.510 µg/kg (uncertainty at 95% confidence interval) with duplicate results obtained using this method of 1.705 and 2.005 µg/kg, yielding a z-score of −1.42, below the limit of |2| for outlying results. This method was also compared with duplicate 50 ng/L spiked WPI and WPC samples, which were prepared and analyzed using the manual immunoaffinity column method. The results of this study are shown in Table 4. The manual immunoaffinity and HPLC method was based on reference methods (AOAC Offiical Method 2000.08 and IDF 171, 28, 29) with minor modifications: (1) the milk samples were dissolved in 25 mL water; (2) aflatoxin was extracted from the cartridges using 7.5 mL acetonitrile with back flushing; (3) analytical chromatography conditions were isocratic elution with 30% acetonitrile at 0.7 mL/min on a 5 µm, 150 × 4.6 mm Prodigy column (Phenomenex).

Method robustness was investigated by performing a Plackett–Burman trial (31, 32), as previously described (33). The seven factors assessed were: extract volume (9 and 11 mL), volume of extraction solvent (18 and 22 mL), shaking time (105 and 75 min), centrifuge speed (3450 and 3350 × g), centrifuge time (12 and 8 min), Triton X-100 drops (2 drops and ½ normal drop), and a dummy factor (G, g). The method was found to be robust for the parameters evaluated, and the results obtained were normally distributed, with variances conforming to those expected by chance (Figure 4). As with similar external-standard-based methods, critical method parameters included accurate measurement of the sample weight, extract volume, and aliquot volume. Figure 4.

The RIDACREST ICE offers a practical solution to the requirement for the high sample throughput (up to 42 samples in a single run per day) needed for measuring AFM1 for global compliance with maximum regulatory limits for AFM1 in milk and milk-based products (34, 35). Conclusions A method that is intended for use in high-throughput laboratories as part of routine product compliance release testing, to show that these dairy products contain less than the maximum regulatory levels of AFM1, was developed. This method was subjected to single-laboratory validation and was found to be accurate, precise, and fit-for-purpose.
