T. Yasumoto et A. Takizawa, FLUOROMETRIC MEASUREMENT OF YESSOTOXINS IN SHELLFISH BY HIGH-PRESSURELIQUID-CHROMATOGRAPHY, Bioscience, biotechnology, and biochemistry, 61(10), 1997, pp. 1775-1777
A rapid HPLC method with fluorescence detection of yessotoxin (YTX) an
d its two analogs (45-OHYTX and norYTX) in mussels and scallops is pre
sented, A dienophile reagent, DMEQ-TAD, was used for fluorescence labe
ling, YTX was measured in the range 1-100 ng, The method confirmed the
occurrence of YTX and 45-OHYTX for the first time in mussels from Chi
le and New Zealand.
