AOAC Official Method 973.37
Ochratoxins in Barley
Thin Layer Chromatographic Method
First Action 1973
Final Action 1988
IUPAC-AOAC Method
Ochratoxin acids and esters are extracted from barley by CHCl3aqueous H3PO4. Acids are entrapped on aqueous NaHCO3-diatomaceous earth column, esters and fat are removed with hexane and
CHCl3, and acids are eluted with HCOOH-CHCl3. Esters are isolated
by entrapment on methanol-aqueous NaHCO3-diatomaceous earth
column, fats are removed with hexane-benzene, and esters are eluted
with HCOOH-hexane-benzene. Compounds are determined from
fluorescence intensity on thin layer chromatograms.
All glassware must be free of alkaline soap or detergent residues
to avoid loss of the toxins from neutral solvent by salt formation,
precipitation, and/or adsorption onto glassware.

Prepare column as in 973.37E(a), using 350 25 mm chromatographic tube, 2.5 mL methanolic NaHCO3 solution, (d), and 4 g
diatomaceous earth. Dissolve residue, 973.37E(a), in 50 mL hexane
and add to column. Rinse extraction vessel with each subsequent
solvent in turn; add rinses to column. Force eluting solvents through
column at convenient rate with compressed gas at 12 psi (6.913.8
kPa). Do not let liquid fall below top of column. Elute with 50 mL
benzene-hexane (1 + 9) previously equilibrated with 2.5 mL
methanolic NaHCO3 solution (discard). Then elute with 100 mL
HCOOH-benzene-hexane mixture. Immediately evaporate eluate to
dryness, quantitatively transfer to conical centrifuge tube with
CHCl3, evaporate to dryness under gentle stream of N2 on steam bath,
and reserve for TLC, 973.37G.
