Characterization of vitamin B12 compounds from traditional fermented Japanese seafoods
This study identified vitamin B 12 compounds in traditional fermented Japanese seafoods, such as heshiko made with a mackerel, kusaya made with a flying fish, Akazukuri - shiokara made with a squid, and funazushi made with a crucian carp, using reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography a...

Summary: | This study identified vitamin B
12
compounds in traditional fermented Japanese seafoods, such as
heshiko
made with a mackerel,
kusaya
made with a flying fish,
Akazukuri
-
shiokara
made with a squid, and
funazushi
made with a crucian carp, using reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography and liquid chromatograph–tandem mass spectrometry. The vitamin B
12
content of these fermented seafoods was approximately 4–13 µg/100 g wet weight, indicating that vitamin B
12
is the predominant corrinoid in all seafoods tested. However,
kusaya
contained approximately 8% of inactive cobamides such as 2-methyladenylcobamide and 2-methylmercaptoadenylcobamide. In conclusion, these traditional fermented Japanese seafoods can be a source of vitamin B
12
