Abstract

Through an analysis of T-2 and HT-2 toxins in corn and brown rice, the effect of enzymatic deacetylation of T-2 toxin on HT-2 toxin was investigated. Gas chromatography (GC) with electron capture detection and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with fluorescence detection were used for quantitative determination. T-2 toxin was converted into HT-2 (84-86%) within 15 min in the presence of crude protein extracts from corn and brown rice. The absence of T-2 conversion was observed for autoclaved samples, in which the enzymes were inactivated. When phosphate buffered saline, followed by methanol, was used as the extraction solvent, recoveries of T-2 toxin spiked at 50 and 200 ${\mu}g/kg$ were from 60 to 87%, whereas those of HT-2 in the autoclaved samples were 0%. In non-autoclaved samples, recoveries of HT-2 were 37-66%, whereas those of T-2 were negligible. However, the conversion of T-2 into HT-2 was not observed when samples were extracted by methanol/water.

T-2와 HT-2 독소는 type A trichothecene계 곰팡이독소에 속하는 식품 오염물질이나, 국내의 경우 기준치 설정과 분석법의 확립이 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 T-2와 HT-2 독소의 분석법 확립에 도움이 되고자 옥수수와 현미 시료에 존재하는 carboxylesterase에 의한 T-2 독소의 탈아세틸화가 GC 및 HPLC에 의한 T-2와 HT-2 독소 분석치에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 옥수수와 현미 시료로부터 제조된 carboxylesterase 조효소원에 의한 T-2 독소의 HT-2 독소로의 전환 정도를 살펴본 결과, 15분 이내에 84-86%의 HT-2 독소가 급격히 형성되었고, 30분 이후에는 93-95%로 증가한 후 일정하게 유지되었다. 시료에 존재하는 효소의 불활성화 여부가 분석치에 미치는 영향을 살펴보면, 효소를 불활성화 시킨 시료에서는 T-2 독소가 60-107% 검출되었고 HT-2 독소가 검출되지 않은 반면, 효소를 불활성화 시키지 않은 시료에서는 T-2 독소가 0-9% 검출되었고 HT-2 독소가 77-121% 생성되었다. 추출용매 및 추출방법에 따른 T-2 독소의 탈아세틸화를 살펴본 결과, methanol/water 80:20으로 추출한 경우에는 T-2 독소가 84-108% 검출되었다. 곰팡이독소의 동시분석을 위해 PBS로 1차 추출한 다음 methanol로 추출할 때, 효소를 불활성화 시킨 시료에서는 T-2 독소가 60-87% 검출되었고 HT-2 독소가 검출되지 않았다. 반면, 효소를 불활성화 시키지 않은 시료에서는 T-2 독소가 검출되지 않았고 HT-2 독소가 37-66% 생성되었다. 이러한 결과는 옥수수와 현미 시료에 존재하는 carboxylesterase에 의해 T-2 독소가 탈아세틸화되어 T-2와 HT-2 독소를 각각 정량분석할 때 분석치에 영향을 미칠 수 있다는 것을 시사한다.
