IDENTIFICATION OF THE VOLATILE TOXIC COMPOUNDS IN A CASE OF MUSHROOMS POISONING - article

There was developed analysis of semivolatile aldehydes and ketones in broth made of conditionally eatable mushrooms as well as in blood and urine of poisoned persons. Tox­ins were identified by gas-chromatographic headspace analysis on Quadrex BTR-CW-30-0,25F column in temperature programming mode (75-225 °С). Quantitative determina­tion of detected substances was performed by absolute calibration method on column (2 m x 3 mm ID) filled with Chromosorb 101 (0,25-0,165 mm) in isothermal mode (270 °С). The broth of mushrooms contained acetic, isobutylic, cinnamic, salicylic alde­hydes and methylamylketon. Acetic and isoamylic aldehydes were discovered in urine of poisoned by mushrooms persons in detected quantities.
