Abstract:

An immunoaffinity column (IAC) was prepared with anti-ochratoxin A (OTA) monoclonal antibody  and the efficiency of IAC was analyzed by indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosobent assay (IC-ELISA) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Results indicated that this IAC had a high column capacity of binding OTA (200 ng) and the recovery ranging from 90.38 % to 100.1 %, and could be used repeatedly 3 times. IAC linked with HPLC was used to detect OTA contents in 15 cereal samples. The limit of detection (LOD) of OTA by this method was 0.2  μg/kg. Samples with OTA levels from 0.6 to 400  μg/kg could be quantitified by this method. The recovery of spiked OTA at levels of 1 to 10 μg/kg ranged from 78.7 % to 87.1 % with coefficients of variation (CVs) less than 6.5 %. This method was applied to detect 15 saled cereal samples. The positive detection rate was 46.7 %, and the highest OTA content detected was 0.785 μg/kg.
