Determination of Mineral Elements in Milk Products by Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectrometry

Determination of Micro minerals in Milk from Farm and Pasture-reared Cow, Goat and Camel; using Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectrometry

“…Examples of methods are flame photometer, Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS) 16 and Inductively coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES) 17 . The latter, is an established analytical technique with large linear dynamic range, low detection limits, high precision and accuracy, which offers automation, rapid multi- …”

Determination of macro, micro and trace elements in citrus fruits by inductively coupled plasma–optical emission spectrometry (ICP‐OES), ICP–mass spectrometry and direct mercury analyzer

“…Among the aforementioned analyzed non‐toxic trace elements, Se and V are considered essential and probably essential trace elements, respectively, while all other trace elements are not known for any prominent health significance. The recommended DRI and tolerable UL for Se are 45 and 400 µg d −1 . This indicates a good contribution of Se to the overall dietary intake of consumers by consumption of citrus fruits, especially grapefruit, orange lemon and lime.…”

“…Of the five analyzed toxic trace elements, As, Hg, Cd and Pb are well known for their toxic effects. The PTWI, as reported by World Health Organization and Food and Nutrition Board, USA, are 15 µg kg −1 body weight (for As), 25 µg kg −1 body weight (Cd), 7 µg kg −1 body weight (Pb) and 1.6 µg kg −1 body weight (Hg). From these values it can easily be deduced that the levels of these toxic trace elements were found to be very low in citrus fruit types analyzed.…”

“…The recommended DRI and tolerable UL for Se are 45 and 400 μg d −1 . 25,32 This indicates a good contribution of Se to the overall dietary intake of consumers by consumption of citrus fruits, especially grapefruit, orange lemon and lime. As all the non-toxic trace elements in general are reported in very low concentrations in the analyzed citrus fruits, it can be deduced that below 10 μg kg −1 they may not cause any adverse health impacts to consumers.…”

“…20 Except for Al and S, all other analyzed macro elements are well known nutritional elements. 25 These are required in the body for various physiological processes such as osmotic pressure, blood clotting, muscle contraction, acid-base balance, enzymatic activities, bone development and hemoglobin synthesis. 15 The analyzed citrus fruits were found to be rich sources of potassium, as it accounted for more than 100 mg kg −1 , except for hwanggeumhyang and cheonhyenyang, where its values were 95.13 mg kg −1 and 95.22 mg kg −1 , respectively.…”
