An ion-exchange chromatographic method was developed to determine hypoglycin A (HG-A) levels in canned ackee fruit by using an amino acid analyzer. HG-A was extracted by homogenizing the sample in 80% alcohol. An isocratic buffer system, consisting of 30% sodium citrate buffer (pH 3.15) and 70% sodium chloride-sodium acetate buffer (pH 7.40) was used to obtain baseline separation between HG-A and the other amino acids. The system can detect HG-A levels as low as 4.8 micrograms/mL. HG-A levels in the edible portion of fruit in 6 cans ranged from 11.0 to 66.5 mg HG-A/can. Recoveries by standard addition averaged 102.5%.
