OBJECTIVE To establish a method for the determination of zearalenone and its metabolites in grains by capillary electrophoresis. METHODS The samples were extracted with liquid-liquid partition and ultrasonic extraction, cleaned up with C18 cartridges, then determined by micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography (MEKC). RESULTS The limits of detection for Zearalenone (ZON), alpha-Zearalenol (alpha-ZOL), beta-Zearalenol (beta-ZOL), Aflatoxin B1 (AFT B1) and Ochratoxin A (Och A) were 0.0084, 0.081, 0.14, 0.0016 and 0.031 microgram/ml, respectively. Recoveries of all compounds were in the range of 77.9%-103.1%. Relative standard deviations (RSDs) were 0.63%-1.98%. CONCLUSIONS This sensitive and accurate method can be used in the determination of zearalenone and its metabolites in grains.

D015025	Zearalenone	(S-(E))-3,4,5,6,8,10-Hexahydro-14,16-dihydroxy-3-methyl-1H-2-benzoxacyclotetradecin-1,7(8H)-dione. One of a group of compounds known under the general designation of resorcylic acid lactones. Cis, trans, dextro and levo forms have been isolated from the fungus Gibberella zeae (formerly Fusarium graminearum). They have estrogenic activity, cause toxicity in livestock as feed contaminant, and have been used as anabolic or estrogen substitutes.	F-2 Toxin,F2 Toxin,F 2 Toxin,Toxin, F-2,Toxin, F2

D016604	Aflatoxin B1	A potent hepatotoxic and hepatocarcinogenic mycotoxin produced by the Aspergillus flavus group of fungi. It is also mutagenic, teratogenic, and causes immunosuppression in animals. It is found as a contaminant in peanuts, cottonseed meal, corn, and other grains. The mycotoxin requires epoxidation to aflatoxin B1 2,3-oxide for activation. Microsomal monooxygenases biotransform the toxin to the less toxic metabolites aflatoxin M1 and Q1.
