“…Nowadays, microwave‐assisted digestion is widely accepted as one of the most useful pretreatment techniques for food matrices [7–16, 20, 21]. Among the various reagents employed in microwave‐assisted digestion, concentrated HNO 3 is preferentially used due to its high purity and broad oxidative ability.…”

“…To date, various analytical techniques, such as inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) [7][8][9][10], inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) [11][12][13], and flame/electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) [14][15][16], have been used for the determination of metals in food. ICP-MS and ICP-OES are widely used due to their superior features (e.g., simultaneous multielement determination, extraordinary analytical sensitivity, and so on) [17,18]; however, the instrument procurement/running cost are quite expensive and require highly skilled instrument operators.…”

Century eggs (also known as pídàn) are a widely used preserved food product in Taiwanese cuisine. Due to their peculiar appearance, pungent odor, and unusual texture, several consumers have raised concerns. Actually, some metallic additives are employed to control the quality of gelation of protein during the production of century eggs. Therefore, a method involving microwave plasma‐atomic emission spectrometer and microwave‐assisted digestion was proposed in this study. In addition, to clarify distribution information of metallic additives in century eggs, detailed analyses based on the egg structure were adopted. The linearities for Fe and Zn were obtained in the range of 0.1–5, and 0.02–1 mg L−1 for Cu and Pb. The method detection limits for test metals were 0.06–0.036 mg L−1. The measured values for the RM EGGS‐1 sample agreed reasonably well with the reference values, demonstrating that the developed method is practical for routine analysis with lower instrument procurement/running cost. The analytical results for century eggs collected from local markets revealed diverse distributions of metal ions in different parts. Remarkably, this method can readily identify the metallic additives used during the production processes even in the presence of complicated matrices.

Determining the level of contaminants in rice is very important because it is one of the staple foods consumed by most people worldwide. Therefore, the quantity of arsenic in rice has become a health concern because rice cultivars have the property of accumulating arsenic in their grains. As a result, various societies have mandated the measurement of arsenic in rice by using different analytical chemistry methodologies, including atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS, ETAAS, HG-AAS) after sample preparation methods such as solid phase microextraction (SPME) and dispersive liquid-liquid extraction (DLLE). The content of arsenic in rice is an essential prerequisite data to incorporate in the health risk assessment. By having such information, it can be possible to determine the risk ratio calculations and identify which countries produce rice with less risk for human consumption. This review aimed to present the analytical methods used for the analysis of inorganic, organic, and total arsenic contents in rice and introduced the methodology for health risk assessment and its related calculations by using the data of inorganic and total arsenic quantifications in the rice along with the per capita of the consumption of rice.

This paper presents a systematic literature review focused on the use of inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) combined with PCA, a multivariate technique, for determining the geographical origin of plant foods. Recent studies selected and applied the ICP-MS analytical method and PCA in plant food geographical traceability. The collected results from many previous studies indicate that ICP-MS with PCA is a useful tool and is widely used for authenticating and certifying the geographic origin of plant food. The review encourages scientists and managers to discuss the possibility of introducing an international standard for plant food traceability using ICP-MS combined with PCA. The use of a standard method will reduce the time and cost of analysis and improve the efficiency of trade and circulation of goods. Furthermore, the main steps needed to establish the standard for this traceability method are reported, including the development of guidelines and quality control measures, which play a pivotal role in providing authentic product information through each stage of production, processing, and distribution for consumers and authority agencies. This might be the basis for establishing the standards for examination and controlling the quality of foods in the markets, ensuring safety for consumers.
