2D Takes the Fear Out of Fugu.
|
New research could help reduce the incidence of food poisoning caused by eating the wrong species of puffer fish, a risky delicacy favored in Asia where it may be referred to as fugu. Different species of puffer fish can be identified by comparing their 2D electrophoresis protein patterns, according to a new study.
Scientists explained in Journal of Food and Agricultural Chemistry that the annual yield of Taiwanese puffer fish is about 3000 to 5000 tons. Most puffer fish species possess the toxin tetrodotoxin (TTX) in the viscera and/or other tissues.
