A Workflow for the Identification of Mycotoxin Metabolites Using Liquid Chromatography-Ion Mobility-Mass Spectrometry

Methods Mol Biol. 2020:2084:133-144. doi: 10.1007/978-1-0716-0030-6_8.

Abstract

The structural identification of phase-I and phase-II metabolites of mycotoxins is a difficult task, mostly due to the lack of standards and because of the large number of isomeric forms. Here, we describe the use of ion mobility-mass spectrometry to analyze cereal extracts and how structural information on newly discovered mycotoxins metabolites could be obtained.

Keywords: CCS; Ion mobility-mass spectrometry; Metabolite identification; Mycotoxins; TWIMS.
