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.
