Establishment and evaluation of a UPLC-MS/MS method for simultaneous determination of bongkrekic acid and dehydroacetic acid in rice noodles by Lingguo Zhao, Ronggui Lv, Ronggui Lv, Jiang Song, Xi Chen, Lei Lei, Weixian Zeng, Miaowen She, Miaowen She, Dabing Li, Xiaxia Yu, Zhanguo Liu, Xiao Wang, Yong Liu

“…To investigate the cause of death of the poisoned patient, the toxigenic bacterium Burkholderia gladiolus was isolated and cultured to produce BA. The results showed that the established method could also be used to qualitatively screen BA and its isomer isobongkrekic acid (IBA) in GVC enrichment broth, potato glucose agar and rice sample, which facilitates a rapid and accurate judgement of whether the isolated bacterium strain produces BA. …”
