Mycotoxin concentrations in Swedish urine samples determined by application of the newly developed DUS method (n = 91)
Mycotoxin | Positive samples % (n) | Quantitated samples % (n) | Concentration (ng/mL) | |||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Meana | Mediana | Maximum | SD quantitated samples | |||
DH-CIT | 54.9 (50) | 38.5 (35) | 0.28 | 0.17 | 0.97 | 0.25 |
DON | 75.8 (69) | 70.3 (64) | 21 | 12 | 136 | 26 |
OTA | 81.2 (74) | 68.1 (62) | 0.058 | 0.040 | 0.434 | 0.064 |
TeA + allo-TeA | 98.9 (90) | 94.5 (86) | 5.9 | 3.6 | 47b | 8.5 |
SD standard deviation
aMeans and median were calculated from samples with mycotoxin concentrations > LOQ
bValues were calculated by extrapolation of the calibration curve
