Abstract
The present research work was dedicated to developing an efficient method based on liquid-liquid chromatography (centrifugal partition chromatography, CPC) applicable to routine purifications of ochratoxins (OT) from the liquid culture of the strain A. albertensis SZMC 2107. The crude extract contained numerous components in addition to OTA (90.1 %,) and OTB (1.1 %,) according to HPLC examinations. For the separation of OTs by CPC, several tertiary systems based on acetonitrile, acetone, and short-chain alcohols were examined to find the most applicable biphasic system. The hexane/i-propanol/water 35:15:50 system supplemented with 0.1 % acetic acid was found to be the most efficient for use in CPC separation. Using liquid–liquid instrumental separation, the two OTs, namely OTA (2.23 mg) and OTB (0.031 mg), were successfully isolated with 96.3 % and–72.8 % purity, respectively, from 1 L ferment broth. The identities and purities of the purified components were confirmed and the performance parameters of each separation step and the whole procedure were determined. The developed method could be used effectively to purify OTs for analytical or toxicological applications.
