Rapid detection of natural plant toxins using probe ESI unit combined with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometer

Many animals and plants are known to have poisonous components (natural toxins) in their bodies. Food poisoning caused by animals and plants containing these natural toxins occurs every year, although the number of cases and patients are not so high compared to bacterial food poisoning. It is extremely important from the viewpoint of food sanitation because some poisons have a high fatality rate. Therefore, rapid and effective screening methods are required. In this study, we report a method for rapid detection of natural plant toxins in Narcissus tazetta and Colchicum autumnale by utilizing the probe electrospray ionization (PESI) technique, one of ultra-high speed analysis screening.
