“…Some of the elements detected by PIXE in these fruits are classified as potentially toxic heavy metals for humans as As, Sb, Cd, Hg, Pb and Al. Inorganic arsenic can produce toxicological effects in human even at low concentrations, being food the main contributor to human arsenic intake [33]. Similarly, lead can induce biochemical effects as neurological problems or haematological effects among others [34].…”

Chestnut fruits, from Castanea sativa Miller species, have been previously characterized mainly to study the nutritional and biochemical parameters, with mineral contents receiving less attention from the researchers, although these minerals are essential for several mechanisms in human body. In this study, a detailed elemental compositional analysis was performed using Proton Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE) to characterize two varieties of Castanea sativa Miller chestnuts (Longal and Judia). This study comprises the composition of the outer shells (pericarp), inner shells (episperm) and the edible fruits. From our knowledge, this is the first time that the presence of up to 20 elements on the shells and the fruits are reported. Furthermore, by PIXE it was possible to quantify them, allowing significant improvements in the assessment of chestnuts composition. Essential and nonessential elements were quantified on a food item that is used mainly for human consumption but it is also incorporated in animal feeding.

“…38 But at present, this method has been replaced by a selective method based on the chromatographic separation of various forms of arsenic, followed by ICP-MS analysis. [39][40][41] For sample preparation, the SPRF recommends using methods of sample ashing in open and closed vessels. Microwave digestion in pressure vessels is provided as a reference method.…”

Background: Currently, the chemical composition of Laminaria J.V. Lamour. species is well studied; they have found applications in the food, cosmeceutical and pharmaceutical industries. The main groups of biologically active compounds are polysaccharides (alginic acid, laminarin, mannitol, fucoidan, and others) and minerals (iodine compounds, magnesium, potassium, calcium, iron) that are determined according to pharmacopoeial and All-Union State Standards requirements. Materials and Methods: For data obtaining various types of search tools and engines such as Google, Google scholar, scientific literature (including Russian sources), normative documentation of Russian Federation (State Pharmacopoeia of Russian Federation IV edition, All-Union State Standards, and others) electronic databases such as e-Library, Scopus, Web of Science, Pubmed were used. Results: In the course of this review study, a modern characteristic of the kelp thallus as a pharmaceutical, cosmeceutical, food substance of plant origin is presented. The data on the chemical composition, harvesting, and processing of raw materials are summarized. The standardization and safety issues of kelp thallus are considered taking into account modern pharmacopoeial and food international requirements. The approaches to the qualitative and quantitative analysis of biologically active compounds (polysaccharides, iodine) and the determination of safety indicators are studied. Conclusions: The regulatory documentation that is used in the quality control of kelp needs to be finalized and updated. For pharmacopoeial analysis, all possible physicochemical methods (gravimetric, titrimetric, spectrophotometric) should be presented in the newly approved monograph. In this case, modern procedures should be developed, including HPLC with various types of detection (determination of the carbohydrates profile and polysaccharides, including methods with acid and enzyme hydrolysis). This will ensure the required level of quality, the safety of kelp (Laminaria) raw materials.

“…Arsenic can be toxic to humans, animals and plants, and its toxicity varies with its different chemical forms and fueled by the wide recognition of toxic effects on humans, even at low concentrations (Llorente-Mirandes et al, 2017). The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified arsenic as an element which is carcinogenic to humans (Group I) (IARC, 2016).…”

A total of 138 samples of canned tuna, sardines and mackerel from the Serbian market were analyzed for toxic (As, Cd, Pb, Hg) element levels using ICP-MS. The highest average contents of toxic elements were found to be 1.70 mg kg -1 for arsenic and 0.026 mg kg -1 for cadmium in sardine and 0.068 mg kg -1 for mercury in tuna. The lead content was very similar (~0.048 mg kg -1 ) of the three types of canned fish. None of the fish analyzed contained toxic elements in levels exceeding the maximum allowable levels currently in force. Human health risk assessment of As, Cd, Pb and Hg in canned fish were investigated. A risk assessment based on the measured levels of examined elements indicated that consumption of canned fish according to current eating habits in Serbia presents little risk to human health since the carcinogenic risk is within the acceptable range, 10 -4 -10 -6 .
