INVESTIGATING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN AGMATINE AND BIOGENIC AMINES

Abstract

A spectrofluorimetric method using orthophthalaldehyde as the derivatization agent was developed for
the determination of agmatine in shrimp. The stoichiometry of the OPA-AGM complex was optimized, and the
effects of agitation and temperature on the fluorescence spectra of the complex in alkaline medium were studied.
The method had low detection limits, excellent replicability, and accuracy, making it a reliable tool for quality
control of shrimp products in the food industry.The study presents a method for the determination of agmatine in
shrimp using spectrofluorimetry with orthophthalaldehyde as the derivatization agent. The method was found to
have very low detection limits and excellent replicability, with relative standard deviations ranging from 0.08 to
1.5%. The results suggest that the method could be a reliable tool for quality control of shrimp products in the
food industry.A sensitive and accurate method for the determination of agmatine in shrimp was developed using
spectrofluorimetry with orthophthalaldehyde as the derivatization agent. The stoichiometry of the OPA-agmatine
complex was optimized, and interference effects on the determination rate with biogenic amines and some metal
ions commonly present in shrimp were studied. The method showed excellent analytical performance and could
be useful for the quality control of shrimp products in the food industry.The study describes a novel method for
the determination of agmatine in shrimp using spectrofluorimetry with orthophthalaldehyde as the derivatization
agent. The method demonstrated very low detection limits and excellent replicability, with relative standard
deviations ranging from 0.08 to 1.5%. The study confirms the accuracy of measurements, making the method a
potential tool for quality control of shrimp products in the food industry.The study presents a reliable and accurate
