Abstract:
Micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) with ultraviolet (UV) detection was applied for the determination of non-derivatized phycotoxins associated with diarrhoetic shellfish poisoning. A detection limit for 40 pg of okadaic acid (OA) was achieved. The UV intensities of this toxin measured at 200 nm showed good linearity in the range 40-640 pg. OA was detected in mussels spiked with 10 ng/g whole tissue. The presence of OA and dinophysistoxin-2 was observed in the crude extract of the dinoflagellate Prorocentrum lima.

However, the stretching absorptions for the C=O bond vary depending on the structure of carboxylic acids. The C=O bond of the free carboxylic acids shows a higher stretching frequency, 1760 cm−1, while H-bonded carboxylic acids (dimers) exhibit stretching absorptions at a lower frequency, 1710 cm−1. The C=O bond of the...
