  1. Detection of paralytic shellfish toxins by near‐infrared spectroscopy based on a near‐bayesian SVM classifier with unequal misclassification costs

    • Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture

    • Abstract Background Paralytic shellfish poisoning caused by human consumption of shellfish fed on toxic algae is a public health hazard. It is imperative to implement shellfish monitoring programs to minimize the possibility of shellfish contaminated by paralytic shellfish toxins (PST) reaching the marketplace. Results A rapid detection method for PST in mussels using near‐infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) technology has been proposed.
