A
sensitive and specific high-performance liquid chromatography–Quadrupole-time of flight mass spectrometry (LC-
Q-TOF-MS) and liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method was developed for the
determination of grayanotoxin I (GTX I) and grayanotoxin III (GTX III) in foodstuffs. Grayanotoxins (GTXs) were extracted
from foodstuffs via solid-phase extraction using HLB solid-phase extraction cartridges. LC-Q-TOF-MS was used to determine
the fragmentation patterns of GTXs and to characterize their fragmentation pathways. LC-MS/MS method was developed and
validated for quantitative determination of GTX I and GTX III in foodstuffs. Separation of LC-Q-TOF-MS was made using
a Waters ACQUITY BEH C18 column (100 × 2.1 mm, 1.7 μm) and separation of LC-MS/MS was made using a Capcell pack
MG II C18 column (2.0 mm × 100 mm, 3 μm). The mobile phase consisted of distilled water (v/v, A) and methanol (v/v, B)
containing 0.1% formic acid. Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry was operated in the positive ion mode. The calibration
curves of LC-MS/MS obtained were linear over the concentration range of 10–100 ng/mL (GTX I), 20-400 ng/mL (GTX III)
with a lower limit of quantification of 7.5 ng/mL (GTX I) and 15 ng/mL (GTX III), respectively. The relative standard deviation
of intra-day and inter-day precision was below 10.35% and accuracy ranged from 83.7 to 112.0%. The analytes were stable
in the stability studies. An investigation of 51 foodstuffs from the online and offline market reveals the presence of GTXs. A
quantitative estimation indicated total toxin concentrations of 1.84-101 ng/mL (GTX I) and 1.53-37.4 ng/mL (GTX III) in
foodstuffs. The potential of this approach is especially demonstrated by the fact that at least two of these toxins have not been
previously described in the literature. The validated method was successfully applied to the quantification study of GTXs in
foodstuffs for the first time.
