RÉSUMÉ
Objective@#To optimize the method of simultaneous determination of four aflatoxins (B1, B2, G1 and G2) of ginger by the ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method and high-throughput method.@*Methods@#The aflatoxins were extracted from ginger by methanol-water (80:20, V/V) solution, concentrated and dried with nitrogen. The aflatoxins were detected by UPLC-MS/MS by using Waters Acquity UPLC BEH C18 chromatographic column. The mobile phase was 0.1% formic acid water (A phase) -0.1% formic acid methanol (B phase), gradient elution, flow rate 0.35 ml/min, mass spectrometry was electrospray ion source, positive ion scanning mode, multi reaction ion monitoring were using.@*Results@#Quantification of four aflatoxins by matrix matching standard curve. The linear was good in the range of 0.125-20.000 ng/ml, and the correlation coefficients were all greater than 0.999 0. The ginger sample detection was 0.125-0.300 μg/kg and 0.125-1.000 μg/kg, respectively. The average recoveries were 81.7%-96.0%, and the relative standard deviation (RSD) was lower than 7.53%.@*Conclusions@#This method is simple, rapid, sensitive and low limit of detection, which can meet the requirements for the detection of trace aflatoxins residues in ginger.
