AgSIE was used for the direct analysis of folic acid (FA), with a detection limit and lower level of quantitation of 6.8×10−10 mol L−1 and 2.3×10−8 mol L−1. The analysis in fresh and processed fruits was done without any sample pretreatment. In strawberry and acerola juices, FA concentration level values were below the method detection limit. FA was detectable in peach (77.7±0.4 µg L−1 and 64.4±0.5 µg L−1), Persian lime (45.4±0.7 µg L−1), pineapple Hawaii (66.2±0.4 µg L−1), pear pineapple (35.3±0.6 µg L−1), cashew (54.4±0.5 µg L−1), passion fruit (73.2±0.3 µg L−1), and apple (84.4±0.5 µg L−1).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
