Abstract
A method is described for the determination of ergothioneine in ergot sclerotia obtained from the host plants Agropyron, Bromus, Calamagrostis, Elymus, Hordeum, and Secale.Ergothioneine is present in all ergots examined at levels from 0.157 to 0.531%. The average concentration in ergot of barley is 0.376% and in ergot of rye 0.336%.Keywords
