[Rapid determination of metallothioneins in foods by capillary zone electrophoresis].

A rapid method for the analysis of metallothioneins (MT) in foods by capillary zone electrophoresis(CZE) was developed. Two isomers of MT (MT1, MT2) in foods were separated and determined. After a series of optimization, the separation and determination of MT1 and MT2 were obtained within 10 min by using the phosphate buffer system consisting of 0.
