Rice sample preparation method for ICP-MS and CV-AFS analysis: Elemental levels and estimated intakes
Food Chemistry(2024)
Abstract
Eight sample digestion procedures were compared to determine 41 elements in rice samples by ICP-MS and CV-AFS. Analytical methods were evaluated using certified rice flour reference material (NIST 1568b) and recovery experiments. The microwave-assisted digestion of 0.5 g rice sample and reagent mixture of 2 mL HNO3, 0.5 mL H2O2, and 0.5 mL deionized water yielded the best recovery for all elements ranging from 90 to 120% at three different levels, bias% within 10%, and precision (coefficient of variation percent, CV% intra- and inter-day) below 15%. The best analytical method was applied to the elemental determination in nine types of rice available on the Italian market. Daily or weekly rice consumption meets the nutritional and safety requirements of EFSA and WHO. The present study allows extensive and detailed knowledge of the content of essential and non-essential/toxic elements in different types of rice produced or packaged in Italy.
