Résumé:

Cereulide is an emetic toxin produced by some strains of . This bacterial toxin, a cyclic 1.2 kDa dodecadepsipeptide, is stable to heat and acids and causes nausea and vomiting when ingested via contaminated food. This work aimed to develop and validate a targeted analytical method applying liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) to quantify this toxin in food and human faeces. Samples were extracted with acetonitrile in the presence of C-cereulide, a labelled internal standard, and purified by centrifugation and filtration. The limits of quantification were 0.5 and 0.3 µg…
