Deoxynivalenol (DON) exposure is estimated by the combined measures of urinary DON and DON-glucuronides. In this study, data from single-mycotoxin (SM) and a multimycotoxin (MM) methods were compared for 256 Swedish adult urine samples. Both methods included ?-glucuronidase predigestion, immunoaffinity enrichment, and LC-MS/MS. However, the specific reagents, apparatus, and conditions were not identical in part because the MM method measures additional mycotoxins. DON was detected in 88 and 63% of samples using the SM and MM methods, respectively, with the following mean and median concentrations: SM, mean = 5.0 ng/mL, SD = 7.4, range of positives = 0.5-60.2 ng/mL, median = 2.5 ng/mL, IQR = 1.0-5.5 ng/mL; MM, mean = 4.4 ng/mL, SD = 12.9, range of positives = 0.5-135.2 ng/mL, median = 0.8 ng/mL, IQR = 0.3-3.5. Linear regression showed a significant, albeit modest, correlation between the two measures (p = 0.0001, r = 0.591). The differences observed may reflect subtle handling differences in DON extraction and quantitation between the methods.

Abstract

Deoxynivalenol (DON) exposure is estimated by the combined measures of urinary DON and DON-glucuronides. In this study, data from single-mycotoxin (SM) and a multimycotoxin (MM) methods were compared for 256 Swedish adult urine samples. Both methods included ?-glucuronidase predigestion, immunoaffinity enrichment, and LC-MS/MS. However, the specific reagents, apparatus, and conditions were not identical in part because the MM method measures additional mycotoxins. DON was detected in 88 and 63% of samples using the SM and MM methods, respectively, with the following mean and median concentrations: SM, mean = 5.0 ng/mL, SD = 7.4, range of positives = 0.5-60.2 ng/mL, median = 2.5 ng/mL, IQR = 1.0-5.5 ng/mL; MM, mean = 4.4 ng/mL, SD = 12.9, range of positives = 0.5-135.2 ng/mL, median = 0.8 ng/mL, IQR = 0.3-3.5. Linear regression showed a significant, albeit modest, correlation between the two measures (p = 0.0001, r = 0.591). The differences observed may reflect subtle handling differences in DON extraction and quantitation between the methods.
