Description
Summary:Pink shrimp (Pandalus borealis) frozen promptly after capture were extracted with perchloric acid and the clear extract, after neutralization with KOH and removal of potassium perchlorate, was subjected to ion exchange chromatography. Glucose, ribose, inosine, inosinic acid, adenylic acid, and a small amount of hypoxanthine were detected. Only traces of hexose phosphates appeared to be present. Homarine was present in moderate concentration and was isolated as crystalline homarine hydrochloride.
