Determination of amatoxin concentration in heat-treated samples of Amanita phalloides by high-performance liquid chromatography: A forensic approach

• Amatoxins have been determined in untreated and heat-treated sample of Amanita phalloides by HPLC. • Sample was given various heat treatments like boiling, grilling, baking and frying to simulate real time sample condition. • In untreated sample, high amount of toxins was found in cap followed by stalk and base. • In heat-treated sample lowest amount of amatoxins were found in the boiled sample. • First study to determine amatoxins in the...
