Abstract
A process was developed for production of gram quantities of deoxynivalenol (DON) from corn that had been inoculated in the field with Fusarium graminearum and was estimated to contain 400–500 mg DON/kg. Steps in the purification procedure included extraction with methanol–water (1 + 1), partition from an aqueous solution into ethyl acetate by using a hydrophilic matrix, defatting, Florisil column chromatography, methylene chloride-water partition, semipreparative liquid chromatography (LC), and crystallization from ethyl acetate. The average yield of crystalline DON produced by this method (or with minor variations) was 281 mg/kg.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
