Distribution of diarrhetic shellfish poisoning toxins in consignments of blue mussel
2004
Jørgensen, K. | Jensen, L.B.
Data describing the distribution of diarrhetic shellfish poisoning toxins in 13 consignments of Danish-produced blue mussels are reported. The content of diarrhetic shellfish poisoning toxins was measured by a liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry detection method, and mean levels in the 13 consignments varied from 58 to 243 microgram kg(-1). The distributions of diarrhetic shellfish poisoning toxins in the consignments were relatively homogenous as the relative standard deviation of the content varied from 7 to 19%. The results are discussed in relation to food safety, the uncertainty of sampling and analysis, and the newly introduced European Union maximum levels of marine biotoxins in seafood products.
