Abstract
Ergothioneine has been prepared from pig blood and from ergot of rye. A poorer yield of ergothioneine was obtained from pig blood received in the Edmonton area than previously by Hunter and Eagles in the Toronto area. By a simplified method a yield of 0.26% has been obtained from ergot.Keywords
