Abstract

We have veen already reported the distribution of PSP of bivalve mollusca in southern coast of Korea and also analyzed their characteristics. The purpose of this study was to develop detoxification method for PSP infested sea mussel, Mytilus edulis, by rearing methods or processing treatments. There was no significant detoxification effect when the PSP infested sea mussel was reared in a tank with water recirculation system, but the toxicity of sea mussel rapidly decreased during the rearing time in a water flow system with filtered water. The detoxification rate of PSP during the rearing for 5 days in a water flow system tank with $15-17^{\circ}C$ of sea water was $94\%$ in case of high toxic sample with more than $2,600{\mu}g/100g$ and about $40\%$ in case of low toxic sample with less than $100{\mu}g/100g$. The toxicity of PSP extracted from the sample with 0.1N/ HCl solution was about 2-5 times higher than that extracted with distilled water. When sea mussel contained $100-150{\mu}g-PSP$ per 100g of edible meat was boiled for 30 min with tap water, the toxicity was destroyed as the level of PSP undetected by mouse assay. We can suggest that boiling of sea mussel with tap water was one of the most significant detoxification methods, but it was not enough to be safe in case of extremely high intoxicated sea mussel with PSP. For example, the digestive gland of sea mussel contained more than $9593{\mu}g/100g$ was heated in a can with tap water at $116^{\circ}C$ for 65 min. the residual PSP was more than $170{\mu}g$.

마비성패류독으로 독화된 진주담치를 시료로 하여 축양 또는 가공방법에 따른 제독실험을 한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 독화된 진주담치를 순환수조에서 축양하였을 때는 유의할 만한 제독효과는 나타나지 않았으나 유수수조에서 축양한 경우는 5일만에 약 $94\%$가 감소하였다. 2. PSP를 0.1N HCl 용액으로 유출하였을 때가 증류수로 추출하였을 때 보다 그 독성이 약 2-5배 높았다. 3. PSP가 $100\~150{\mu}g/100g$ 정도로 독화된 진주담치를 수도수에서 30분간 자숙하였을 때 그 독성은 동물실험결과 검출되지 않았다. 4. PSP가 $175{\mu}g/100g$ of digestive gland인 진주담치를 $116^{\circ}C$에서 65분간 가압살균하였을 때는 동물 실험결과 독성이 검출되지 않았으나 독소함양이 $9539{\mu}g/100g$ of digestive gland인 고독력의 진주담치는 같은 조건에서 가압살균하여도 $171{\mu}g$의 독력이 잔존하였다.
