Abstract
This review deals with the applications of cyclodextrins as selectors for mycotoxin recognition. Complexation by cyclodextrins via formation of inclusion (host-guest) complexes induces significant changes in the physical and chemical properties of mycotoxins as guest molecules, effects that can be used in a variety of analytical techniques. Changes in chromatographic and electrophoretic properties and their applications to set up new separation methods are covered. Among these changes, a significant effect is the enhancement of the mycotoxin fluorescence upon inclusion, a phenomenon which provides a simple and convenient method to significantly increase the sensitivity of fluorescence-based trace analysis. The practical application of this phenomenon to set up new analytical methods is described. Studies on the mechanism of inclusion complex formation are also reported.

Abstract
Cyclodextrins, cyclic oligosaccharides composed of amylose subunits, are known to interact with mycotoxins. The interactions may be useful to analytical chemists by altering the properties of the mycotoxin of interest, namely the chromatographic properties, electrophoretic properties, fluorescence, or absorption of these fungal metabolites. Practical applications of these effects have been the incorporation of cyclodextrins into high-performance liquid chromatography and capillary electrophoresis methods for mycotoxin detection. Specific mycotoxins include those with a native fluorescence such as the aflatoxins, ochratoxin A (OTA) and zearalenone (ZEN) as well as those that can be rendered fluorescent through derivatization, such as T-2 toxin. The literature describing the applications of cyclodextrins in mycotoxin analysis is reviewed and an attempt to extend the use of cyclodextrins to the detection of labelled T-2 toxin is presented. Twenty cyclodextrins were evaluated for their ability to enhance the fluorescence emission of T-2 toxin derivatized with pyrene-1-carbonyl cyanide (T2-Pyr). This evaluation revealed that heptakis (2,6-di-O-methyl)-beta-cyclodextrin (DIMEB), in particular, enhanced T2-Pyr fluorescence. DIMEB was used as a buffer modifier in a capillary electrophoresis-laser-induced fluorescence (CE-LIF) method for detecting T-2 in maize. Because of the effects that certain cyclodextrins have, especially under aqueous conditions, they may make useful additives for a variety of mycotoxin analytical methods.

Abstract
Docking techniques and the HINT (Hydropathic Interaction) program were used to explain interactions of aflatoxin B(1) and ochratoxin A with beta- and gamma-cyclodextrins. The work was aimed at designing a chemosensor to identify very low concentrations of these mycotoxins by exploiting the affinity of the cyclodextrin cavity for many small organic molecules. Actually, the inclusion of the fluorescent portion of these toxins into the cavity may lower the quenching effect of the solvent, thus enhancing the luminescence. HINT is a 'natural' force field, based on experimentally determined LogP(octanol/water) values, that is able to consider both enthalpic and entropic contributions to the binding free energy with an unified approach. HINT is normally applied to predict the DeltaG degrees of binding for protein-ligand, protein-protein, and protein-DNA interactions. The leading forces in biomolecular processes are the same as those involved in organic host-guest inclusion phenomena, therefore we applied this methodology for the first time to cyclodextrin complexes. The results allowed us to explain spectroscopic data in absence of available crystallographic or NMR structural data.

Abstract
The development and characterization of an anti-aflatoxin B1 (anti-AFB1) immunoaffinity monolithic disk is reported. Polyclonal anti-AFB1 was covalently immobilized in batch on an epoxy-activated monolithic Convective Interaction Media (CIM) disk (12 mm x 3 mm i.d.) by a one-step reaction via epoxy groups of the polymer surface. 0.96 mg of antibody were immobilized and the binding capacity of the CIM disk was determined by frontal analysis. The CIM disk was coupled through a switching valve to a reversed-phase column, namely Chromolith Performance RP-18e. A fully automated HPLC method with fluorescence detection for the determination of aflatoxin B1 in aqueous solution was developed. The total analysis time with the integrated system is 46 min and the retention time of AFB1 is approximately 29 min. The binding capacity of the immunoaffinity disk was evaluated in terms of linearity, precision and accuracy of the extraction procedure. The immunoaffinity support was stable after repeated runs.

Abstract
Paprika powder, naturally contaminated with aflatoxins, was extracted by supercritical carbon dioxide at standard conditions (300 bar and 50 degrees C). A lipophilic top phase and an aqueous base phase were obtained. These and the extraction residue were analysed by HPLC for aflatoxins. The main quantity of aflatoxins, about 60% of aflatoxin B1 and about 70% of aflatoxin B2 related to the original paprika powder, was found to be located in the extraction residue. This confirms the results of previous studies with other spices and demonstrates that the use for flavouring purposes of supercritical carbon dioxide extracts, rather than natural spice, offers potential application in reducing aflatoxin levels in spiced foods.

Abstract
A method for the quantification of aflatoxins B1, G1, B2 and G2 in the medicinal herb Maytenus ilicifolia was developed and validated. The method used immunoaffinity columns for sample clean-up and HPLC with fluorescence detection without any derivatisation step. The method showed good inter-day accuracy (bias values in the range 4.5-10.7%) and precision (5-16% RSD) when applied to the determination of levels of aflatoxins ranging from 7 to 20 ppb in the plant material. The detection limits for samples of the plant material spiked with aflatoxins were 3.5 ng/g for B1 and G1 and 0.1 ng/g for B2 and G2. The method was successfully applied to commercial samples of Maytenus ilicifolia for the screening of aflatoxin contaminants.

Abstract
Cyclodextrins (CDs) are a family of cyclic oligosaccharides that are composed of alpha-1,4-linked glucopyranose subunits. Cyclodextrins are produced from starch by enzymatic degradation. These macrocyclic carbohydrates with apolar internal cavities can form complexes with and solubilize many normally water-insoluble compounds. This review describes recent applications of CDs in pharmaceuticals with a major emphasis on drug delivery systems. The utility of these water-soluble cyclic glucans in a variety of foods, flavors cosmetics, packaging and textiles is elaborated. The role of these compounds in biocatalysis is also discussed. Cyclodextrins are used in separation science because they have been shown to discriminate between positional isomers, functional groups, homologues and enantiomers. This property makes them a useful agent for a wide variety of separations.

Abstract
Molds and yeasts from 91 samples of feed and raw materials used in feed formulation were enumerated on a new culture medium to which a beta cyclodextrin (beta-W7M 1.8-cyclodextrin) had been added. This medium was compared with other media normally used in laboratories for the routine analysis of fungi, such as Sabouraud agar, malt agar supplemented with 2% dextrose, and potato dextrose agar. When a t test for paired data (0.05 significance level, 95% confidence interval) was applied, no statistically significant differences between the results obtained with the new culture medium and those obtained with the other media used to enumerate molds and yeasts were found. For the evaluation of contamination due to aflatoxin for all of the samples, Sabouraud agar and yeast extract agar, both supplemented with 0.3% beta-W7M 1.8-cyclodextrin, and APA (aflatoxin-producing ability) medium were used. Aflatoxin was detected in 21% of the feed samples and in 23% of the raw-material samples analyzed, with maximal amounts of 2.8 and 6.0 microg of aflatoxin B1 per kg, respectively, being detected. In any case, the aflatoxin contents found exceeded the legally stipulated limits. The t test for paired data (0.05 significance level, 95% confidence interval) did not show statistically significant differences between the results obtained with the different culture media used for the detection of aflatoxins. The advantage of the new medium developed (Sabouraud agar with 0.3% beta-W7M 1.8-cyclodextrin) is that it allows simultaneous fungal enumeration and determination (under UV light) of the presence of aflatoxin-producing strains without prior isolation and culture procedures involving expensive and/or complex specific media and thus saves work, time, and money.

Abstract
The effect of succynil-beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD-Su), dimethyl-beta-cyclodextrin (DIMEB) and beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) on the fluorescence of aflatoxins B1, B2, G1, G2 and M1 (AFB1, AFB2, AFG1, AFG2 and AFM1) was studied: beta-CD-Su promoted the largest fluorescence enhancement for AFB1 and AFM1 while DIMEB showed better results for AFG1 . On the basis of the fluorescence enhancement, a new RP-HPLC method for detecting aflatoxins B1, B2, G1, G2 and M1 was developed using cyclodextrins directly dissolved in the LC eluent. Aflatoxins B1, B2, G1 and G2 were resolved using a MICRA NPS ODS-1 column using methanol-water as mobile phase to which 6 x 10(-3) M beta-CD-Su or beta-CD were added. Chromatographic responses of AFB1 and AFG1 achieved using beta-CD dissolved in the mobile phase were enhanced, respectively, 8 and 12 times, and 10 and 15 times with beta-CD-Su. Detection limits lower than 0.3 microg/kg were achieved for all the four aflatoxins. Aflatoxin M1 was analysed using a Spherisorb S3 ODS-2 Narrow Bore column and methanol-water as mobile phase with added 2 x 10(-3) M beta-CD-Su. An area enhancement of 1.5 was detected for the toxin and the detection limit achieved under these analytical conditions was lower than 0.0005 microg/kg. Both methods were statistically validated showing a linear response for all the aflatoxins tested (R2 > or = 0.99), and applied to the analysis of spiked and naturally contaminated food samples.

Abstract
A new reliable, fast, and simple method for the detection of aflatoxigenic Aspergillus strains, consisting of the addition of a cyclodextrin (a methylated beta-cyclodextrin derivative) to common media used for testing mycotoxin production ability, was developed. We propose the use of this compound as an additive for fungal culture media to enhance the natural fluorescence of aflatoxins. The production of aflatoxins coincided with the presence of a bright blue or blue-green fluorescent area surrounding colonies when observed under long-wavelength (365-nm) UV light after 3 days of incubation at 28 degrees C. The presence of aflatoxins was confirmed by extracting the medium with chloroform and examining the extracts by high-pressure liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection.

Abstract
HPLC using fluorescence detection has already become the most accepted method for the determination of aflatoxins due to its several advantages over other analytical methods. Both normal- and reversed-phase HPLC can be used. However the reversed-phase HPLC methods are more popular. Liquid chromatographic determination of aflatoxins using fluorescence detection and its application in food analysis is reviewed in this article.

Abstract
We report a highly sensitive and rapid strategy for characterizing biological toxins based on capillary electrokinetic chromatography with multiphoton-excited fluorescence. In this approach, aflatoxins B1, B2, and G1 and the cholera toxin A-subunit are fractionated in approximately 80 s in a narrow-bore electrophoretic channel using the negatively charged pseudostationary phase, carboxymethyl-beta-cyclodextrin. The aflatoxins--highly mutagenic multiple-ringed heterocycles produced by Aspergillus fungi--are excited at the capillary outlet through the simultaneous absorption of two to three 750-nm photons to yield characteristic blue fluorescence; cholera toxin A-subunit, the catalytic domain of the bacterial protein toxin from Vibrio cholera, is excited through an unidentified multiphoton pathway that apparently includes photochemical transformation of an aromatic residue in the polypeptide. The anionic carboxymethyl-beta-cyclodextrin, used to chromatographically resolve the uncharged aflatoxins, enhances emission from these compounds without contributing substantially to the background. Detection limits for these toxins separated in 2.1-micron-i.d. capillaries range from 4.4 zmol (approximately 2700 molecules) for aflatoxin B2 to 3.4 amol for the cholera toxin A-subunit. Larger (16-micron-i.d.) separation capillaries provide concentration detection limits for aflatoxins in the 0.2-0.4 nM range, severalfold lower than achieved in 2.1-micron capillaries. These results represent an improvement of > 10(4) in mass detectability compared to previously published capillary separations of aflatoxins and demonstrate new possibilities for the analysis of proteins and peptides.

Abstract
The fluorescence properties of the aflatoxins M1, Q1, P1 in solution and the effect of various cyclodextrins (alpha-, beta-, gamma-, hydroxypropyl-beta- and alpha-beta-heptakis-di-O-methyl-beta-) on their fluorescence emission were studied. Among the aflatoxins, a substantial enhancement of the fluorescence emission of aflatoxin Q1 in the presence of aqueous solutions of alpha-, beta-, hydroxypropyl-beta, and alpha-beta-heptakis-di-O-methyl-beta-cyclodextrin, was observed. On the contrary, gamma-cyclodextrin proved to be inefficient to enhance the fluorescence properties of this compound. No important fluorescence enhancement was found for aflatoxins P1 or M1 for any of the cyclodextrin derivatives tested. The complex formation constant (Kf) of these compounds with beta-cyclodextrin was chromatographically determined, and from the results obtained, we can conclude that Kf cannot be used alone to explain the fluorescence increase. Thermodynamic studies showed that delta-H and delta-S parameters, associated with the partition of aflatoxins in RP-HPLC, increased when beta-cyclodextrin was added to the eluent.
