Evaluation of immunoassay kits for determination of ochratoxin A in cereals1,21,110,90,80,7B/B 00,60,50,40,30,20,100 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40ng/gOTA OTA B Otα CIT ZEA AFLA COU 4-HC PheFigure 13: Standard curve of OTA, OTB, OTα, Citrinin, Zearalenone, AFLA B1, Coumarin, 4-HydroxyCoumarin and L-phenylalanine (n=2)4.4.2.2 MatrixFor the compounds the kit showed clear cross-reactivity, OTA, and OTB, the exercise was repeated by constructingcalibration curves in extracts of wheat, winter barley and oats. The results are summarised in Table 58. Whenexamining these results it can be seen that the concentration needed for 50% reduction of the signal increasedslightly (except for OTB in wheat) in the matrix. Cross-reactivity for OTB is still present in the matrix.Table 58: Cross-reactivity in matrixOTAOTBWheat Barley Oats Wheat Barley OatsSlope -1.038 -1.559 -1.437 -1.158 -0.818 -1.323Intercept 1.264 1.826 1.786 0.970 0.898 1.332R 2 0.995 0.994 0.990 0.993 0.991 0.998SE Intercept 0.057 0.092 0.180 0.077 0.062 0.048SE Slope 0.052 0.084 0.143 0.070 0.056 0.043IC50 (ng/g) 16.518 14.838 17.480 6.882 12.535 10.1564-56 Experimental evaluation | CODA-CERVA
