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.

Abstract
An alternative method of rice sample preparation for measuring the total content of selected elements, i.e., Al, Ba, Ca, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Na, Sr and Zn, by ICP OES was developed. The proposed approach is based on the ultrasound-assisted extraction (USAE) of rice samples in the presence of a small amount of concentrated HNO3. The optimal operating parameters were found using the design of experiments (DOE) approach, and the studied experimental factors were the temperature of the ultrasonic bath (A), the sonication time (B), and the volume of concentrated HNO3 added per 0.5 g of a rice sample (C). Under the optimal conditions of the USAE procedure, i.e., A = 60 °C, B = 16 min and C = 4.0 mL, the rice samples were readily solubilized, and the obtained sample solutions could be analyzed by ICP OES with the simple standard solution calibration (without matrix matching). The analysis of the certified reference material (rice flour, NIST SRM 1568b) confirmed the satisfactory trueness of the USAE-ICP OES method. Additionally, no statistically significant differences between the results obtained for the samples prepared by USAE and open-vessel wet digestion (WD, the reference method) were found. In comparison to the routinely used microwave-assisted digestion and open-vessel digestion, the USAE approach offers lower acid consumption, lower detection limits (LODs) of elements, ranging from 4.0 ng g-1 for Mn to 2.7 µg g-1 for K, and a much shorter time of sample preparation.

Abstract
Cold seeps are highly productive chemosynthetic ecosystems in the deep-sea environment. Although microbial communities affected by methane seepage have been extensively studied in sediments and seawater, there is a lack of investigation of prokaryotic communities at the surface sediments and bottom seawater. We revealed the effect of methane seepage on co-occurrence networks and ecological niches of prokaryotic communities at the surface sediments and bottom seawater in the Haima cold seep. The results showed that methane seepage could cause the migration of Mn and Ba from the surface sediments to the overlying seawater, altering the elemental distribution at seepage sites (IS) compared with non-seepage sites (NS). Principal component analysis (PCA) showed that methane seepage led to closer distances of bacterial communities between surface sediments and bottom seawater. Co-occurrence networks indicated that methane seepage led to more complex interconnections at the surface sediments and bottom seawater. In summary, methane seepage caused bacterial communities in the surface sediments and bottom seawater to become more abundant and structurally complex. This study provides a comprehensive comparison of microbial profiles at the surface sediments and bottom seawater of cold seeps in the South China Sea (SCS), illustrating the impact of seepage on bacterial community dynamics.

Abstract
Rapid, sensitive and simultaneous determination of trace multi-elements in various plant food samples such as grain, oilseed, vegetable and tea is always a challenge thus far. In this work, a rapid determination method for Se, Cd, As and Pb in food samples by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) using slurry sampling electrothermal vaporization (SS-ETV) was developed. To improve the analytical sensitivity and precision as well as eliminate the memory effect, a gas turbulator line and signal delay device (SDD) were for the first time designed for the graphite furnace (GF) ETV coupled with ICP-MS. The signal acquisition parameters of ICP-MS, ashing and vaporization conditions, and the flow rates of carrier gas and gas turbulator were investigated for Se, Cd, As and Pb in food samples. Under the optimized conditions, the limits of determination (LODs) for Se, Cd, As and Pb were 0.5 ng g-1, 0.3 ng g-1, 0.3 ng g-1 and 0.6 ng g-1, respectively; the limits of quantification (LOQs) for Se, Cd, As and Pb were 1.7 ng g-1, 1.0 ng g-1, 1.0 ng g-1 and 1.9 ng g-1, respectively; linearity (R2) in the range of 1 to 4,000 ng g-1 was >0.999 using the standard addition method. This method was used to analyze 5 CRMs including rice, tea and soybeans, and the concentrations detected by this method were within the range of the certified values. The recoveries of Se, Cd, As and Pb in plant food matrices including grain, oilseed, celery, spinach, carrot and tea samples were 86-118% compared to the microwave digestion ICP-MS method; and the relative standard deviations (RSDs) were 1.2-8.9% for real food sample analysis, proving a good precision and accuracy for the simultaneous determination of multi-elements. The analysis time was less than 3 min, slurry preparation time < 5 min without sample digestion process. The proposed direct slurry sampling ICP-MS method is thus suitable for rapid and sensitive determination of Se, Cd, As and Pb in food samples with advantages such as simplicity, green and safety, as well as with a promising application potential in detecting more elements to protect food safety and human health.

Abstract
The use of biofertilizers has been the spotlight of research aiming to mitigate the food security threat as well as to restore the fertility of agricultural lands, for decades. Several studies are being conducted to unravel the role and mechanisms of plant growth-promoting microbes. In the present research, we evaluated the effect of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and Piriformospora indica on the growth and nutritional enhancement of black rice (Oryzae sativa. L.) individually and in combination. Among the different treatment conditions, the AgNPs + P. indica treatment led to a significant (p ≤ 0.05) increase in morphological and agronomic parameters. In comparison to the control, the percentage increase in plant height in AgNPs-treated black rice was 2.47%, while that for the treatment with only P. indica was 13.2% and that for the treatment with both AgNPs + P. indica was 30.9%. For the number of productive tillers, the effect of AgNPs in comparison to the control was non-significant; however, the effect of P. indica and AgNPs + P. indica showed a significant (p ≤ 0.05) increase of 13.2% and 30.9% in both the treatments, respectively. Gas chromatography mass spectrophotometry analysis of grains revealed that the contents of phenylalanine, tryptophan, and histidine (aromatic amino acids) were significantly (p ≤ 0.05) increased by 75%, 11.1%, and 50%, respectively, in P. indica-treated black rice. Nutrient profiling showed that macronutrients such as potassium, calcium, magnesium were found to be increased by 72.8%, 86.4% and 59.2%, respectively, in the treatment with AgNPs + P. indica in comparison to the control plants. Additionally, a significant (p ≤ 0.05) increase of 51.9% in anthocyanin content was observed in AgNPs + P. indica-treated black rice. The P. indica treatment also showed improved growth and augmented nutrient contents. From this study, we were able to understand that AgNPs + P. indica treatment would be a better plant growth-promoting factor and further evaluation would enable us to obtain a clear picture of its mechanisms of action.

Abstract
Aluminum (Al) contamination in acidic soil is a major problem in paddy field, causing grain yield loss, especially in central plains of Thailand. The objective of this study was to assess Al content in the root tissues, its translocation to the leaves, and Al toxicity in three genotypes of rice, RD35 (local acidic-tolerant), Azucena (positive-check Al-tolerant), and IR64 (high yielding) under 0 (control) or 1 mM AlCl3 (Al toxicity) at pH 4.5. Al content in the root tissues of rice cv. RD35 under 1 mM AlCl3 was peaked at 4.18 mg g‒1 DW and significantly translocated to leaf tissues (0.35 mg g‒1 DW), leading to reduced leaf greenness (SPAD) (by 44.9% over the control) and declined net photosynthetic rate (Pn) (by 54.5% over the control). In contrast, Al level in cvs. Azucena and IR64 was restricted in the roots (2.12 mg g‒1 DW) with low amount of translocation in the leaf tissues (0.26 mg g‒1 DW), resulting in maintained values of SPAD and Pn. In cv. RD35, root and shoot traits including root length, root fresh weight, shoot height, shoot fresh weight, and shoot dry weight in 1 mM Al treatment were significantly dropped by > 35% over the control, whereas these parameters in cvs. Azucena and IR64 were retained. Based on the results, RD35 rice genotype was identified as Al sensitive as it demonstrated Al toxicity in both aboveground and belowground parts, whereas Azucena and IR64 were found tolerant to 1 mM Al as they demonstrated storage of Al in the root tissues to reduce toxicity in the leaf tissues. The study suggests that root traits, shoot attributes, chlorophyll degradation, and photosynthetic reduction can be successfully employed for the screening of Al-tolerant genotypes in rice breeding programs.

Abstract
Plastics are produced and used in large quantities worldwide (e.g. as food packaging). In line with this, plastic particles are found throughout the ecosphere and in various foods. As a result, plastics are also present in energy-rich waste biomass derived from the food industry, supermarkets, restaurants, etc. These waste streams are a valuable source for biogas production but can also be used to feed insects that in turn upcycle it into new high-value biomass. In both applications, the remaining residue can be used as fertilizer. Due to the present plastic particles, these applications could pose a continued threat to the environment, and both human and animal health. Therefore, the need of determining the (micro)plastic content to assess the potential danger is rising. In this research, a closed-vessel microwave-assisted acid digestion method was developed to accurately determine meso- and microplastic contents in food (waste) matrices by solubilising this food matrix. Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) food packaging foil was used to develop the method, using a full factorial design with three parameters (nitric acid concentration (c(HNO3)), temperature (T), and time (t)). According to this model, the best practical conditions were c(HNO3) = 0.50 mol/L, T = 170 °C, and t = 5.00 min. Subsequently, the method was tested on five other plastics, namely high- and low-density polyethylene (HDPE and LDPE), polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), and polyethylene terephthalate (PET), mixed with a food matrix, resulting in a mean plastic recovery of 102.2 ± 4.1%. Additionally, the polymers were not oxidised during the microwave digestion. For PVC and PS hardly any degradation was found, while HDPE, LDPE, and PP showed slight chain degradation, although without recovery loss. In conclusion, the method is an accurate approach to quantify the total meso- and microplastic content in food (waste) matrices with minimal change in their intrinsic characteristics.

Abstract
Acid sulphate soil contains high amounts of iron (Fe) and aluminum (Al), and their contamination has been reported as major problems, especially in rainfed and irrigated lowland paddy fields. Rice is sensitive to Fe and Al grown in acid soil (pH < 5.5), leading to growth inhibition and grain yield loss. The objective of this study was to evaluate Fe and/or Al uptake, translocation, physiological adaptation, metal toxicity, and growth inhibition in rice genotypes grown in acid soil. Fe and Al in the root tissues of all rice genotypes were enriched depending on the exogenous application of either Fe or Al in the soil solution, leading to root growth inhibition, especially in the KDML105 genotype. Expression level of OsYSL1 in KDML105 was increased in relation to metal uptake into root tissues, whereas OsVIT2 was downregulated, leading to Fe (50.3 mg g-1 DW or 13.1 folds over the control) and Al (4.8 mg g-1 DW or 2.2 folds over the control) translocation to leaf tissues. Consequently, leaf greenness (SPAD), net photosynthetic rate (Pn), stomatal conductance (gs), and transpiration rate (E) in the leaf tissues of genotype KDML105 under Fe + Al toxicity significantly declined by 28.4%, 35.3%, 55.6%, and 51.6% over the control, respectively. In Azucena (AZU; Fe/Al tolerant), there was a rapid uptake of Fe and Al by OsYSL1 expression in the root tissues, but a limited secretion into vacuole organelles by OsVIT2, leading to a maintenance of low level of toxicity driven by an enhanced accumulation of glutathione together with downregulation of OsGR expression level. In addition, Fe and Al restrictions in the root tissues of genotype RD35 were evident; therefore, crop stress index (CSI) of Fe + Al-treated plants was the maximum, leading to an inhibition of gs (53.6% over the control) and E (49.0% over the control). Consequently, free proline, total phenolic compounds, and ascorbic acid in the leaf tissues of rice under Fe + Al toxicity significantly increased by 3.2, 1.2, and 1.5 folds over the control, respectively, indicating their functions in non-enzymatic antioxidant defense. Moreover, physiological parameters including leaf temperature (Tleaf) increment, high level of CSI (>0.6), SPAD reduction, photon yield of PSII (ΦPSII) diminution, Pn, gs, and E inhibition in rice genotype IR64 (Fe/Al-sensitive) under Fe + Al treatment were clearly demonstrated as good indicators of metal-induced toxicity. Our results on Fe- and/or Al-tolerant screening to find out the candidate genotypes will contribute to present screening and breeding efforts, which in turn help increase rice production in the Fe/Al-contaminated acid soil under lowland conditions.

PLANTS 2022; 11:plants11121593. [PMID: 35736744 PMCID: PMC9228499 DOI: 10.3390/plants11121593] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/13/2022] [Revised: 06/14/2022] [Accepted: 06/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Maize is one of the most widely used plants in the agricultural industry, and the fields of application of this plant are broad. The experiment was conducted at the Látókép Crop Production Experimental Station of the University of Debrecen, Hungary. Three mid-ripening maize hybrids with different FAO numbers were used in the present study. The effects of different nitrogen supplies were examined as a variable rate of abiotic stress and the interrelationship among the essential nutrients through the nutrient acquisition and partitioning of the different vegetative and generative plant parts. The results showed that NPK application compared to the control treatment (no fertilizer application) increased DM in all tissues of maize, while increasing nitrogen application from 120 to 300 kg ha−1 had no significant effect on this trait. The highest protein content was obtained with the nitrogen application of 120 kg ha−1, and the higher nitrogen fertilizer application had no significant effect on this trait. Seeds and leaves had a maximum zinc and manganese value in terms of nitrogen content (protein). Dry matter was positively correlated with nitrogen, potassium, and manganese content, while the dry matter had a negative correlation with nickel content. In general, to achieve a maximum quantitative and qualitative yield, it is recommended to use NPK fertilizer with a rate of 120 kg ha−1 N for maize cultivation.

Abstract
Confirm and authentic identification of species is required for the implementation of wildlife laws in cases of illegal trafficking of snake venoms. Illegally trafficked snake venom might be misidentified with other drugs of abuse, and sometimes, the species of venom-yielding snake cannot be verified. Snake venoms from medically important snake species, Naja naja and Daboia russelii, were procured from Irula Snake Catcher's Society, Tamil Nadu, India. Comparative analyses of both venoms were carried out using SDS-PAGE, LC-MS/MS, ICP-MS, and mtDNA analysis. The protein concentration of Naja naja and Daboia russelii venoms was 76.1% and 83.9%, respectively. SDS analysis showed a distinct banding pattern of both venoms. LC-MS/MS results showed proteins and toxins from 12 to 14 protein families in Naja naja and Daboia russelii venoms. Elemental analysis using ICP-MS showed a different profile of some elements in both venoms. mtDNA analysis of venoms using universal primers against Cyt b gene showed homology with sequence of Naja naja and Daboia russelii genes. The study proposed a template of various conventional and advanced molecular and instrumental techniques with their pros and cons. The template can be used by forensic science laboratories for detection, screening, and confirmatory analysis of suspected venoms of snakes. Clubbing of various techniques can be used to confirm the identification of species of snake from which the alleged venom was milked. The results can be helpful in framing charge-sheets against accused of illegal venom trafficking and can also be used to verify the purity and quality of commercially available snake venoms.

Abstract
A novel method for microwave-assisted digestion of milk samples using diluted HNO3and H2O2 with a single reaction chamber was developed for elemental analysis by ICP-based techniques. The optimal conditions for digestion were 0.25 g of sample mass, 6 mL of 0.1 molL-1HNO3and 2 mL of 30% H2O2 at 250 ℃ and 160 bar. The optimized procedure resulted in low residual carbon content and residual acidity of 260 mgL-1 and 0.06 mol L-1, respectively. The limits of detection ranged from 0.286ոg g-1(Ca) to 82.990ոg g-1(Fe). In addition, the proposed method was considered an excellent green analysis method with a final score of 87 based on the analytical Eco-Scale. Finally, the method was validated and applied to the determination of Al, As, Ba, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, Ni, Pb, Sb, Se, and Zn in milk samples from South Korea.

Abstract
Se is an essential element in mammals. We review how its bioavailability in soil and the ability of plants to accumulate Se in foods depends on the soil Se profile (including levels and formats), besides to describe how the various selenoproteins have important biochemical functions in the body and directly impact human health. Owing to its favorable characteristics, the scientific community has investigated selenomethionine in most nut matrices. Among nuts, Brazil nuts have been highlighted as one of the richest sources of bioavailable Se. We summarize the most commonly used analytical methods for Se species and total Se determination in nuts. We also discuss the chemical forms of Se metabolized by mammals, human biochemistry and health outcomes from daily dietary intake of Se from Brazil nuts. These findings may facilitate the understanding of the importance of adequate dietary Se intake and enable researchers to define methods to determine Se species.

Abstract
Cost-effective simultaneous determination of mercury, copper and cadmium ions was performed by differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry (DPASV) using a pencil graphite electrode (PGE) modified with poly-L-cysteine (P-L-Cys) and Fe3O4 nanoparticles. Electropolymerization of L-cysteine was performed by cyclic voltammetry (CV) through applying different cycles. Also, Fe3O4 was deposited in a single step by applying a constant potential on the electrode surface in the presence of ferric nitrate. To enhance the sensitivity of measurement, several parameters such as monomer concentration, scan rate, number of cycles in electropolymerization, ferric nitrate concentration, Fe3O4 electrodeposition potential and time, and pH of the sample solution were optimized. The surface morphology of the modified electrode was examined by SEM and FTIR. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was conducted to investigate the impedance of the electrode surface. The linear ranges for cadmium, copper and mercury were 0.001‒2500, 0.0002‒3600 and 0.0001‒2500 nM with detection limits of 6.4 × 10-13, 1.0 × 10-13 and 9.0 × 10-14 M, respectively. The stability and reproducibility of the electrode were investigated. Finally, the modified electrode was applied to determine mercury, copper and cadmium in real samples such as the groundwater, Caspian Sea and Tajan River water.

Arsenic bioaccessibility in rice grains via modified physiologically-based extraction test (MPBET): Correlation with mineral elements and comparison with As relative bioavailability.

Abstract
Rice consumption is a major dietary source of human exposure to arsenic (As), with As bioavailability being an important factor influencing its health risk. In this study, the As bioaccessibility was measured in 11 rice grains (140-335 μg As kg-1), which were compared to As relative bioavailability previously measured based on a mouse bioassay (Li et al., 2017). Using modified physiologically-based extraction test for rice (MPBET), As bioaccessibility in raw rice samples (44-88% in the gastric phase and 47-102% in the intestinal phase) was similar to those in cooked rice (42-73% and 43-99%). Arsenic bioaccessibility in rice was generally higher in the intestinal phase than in the gastric phase, with Fe and Ca concentrations in rice being negatively correlated with As bioaccessibility in the gastric phase (R2 = 0.47-0.49). In addition, for cooked rice, strong positive correlation was observed between bioaccessible As and inorganic As (R2 = 0.63-0.72), suggesting inorganic As in rice was easier to dissolve than organic As in gastrointestinal digestive fluids. Due to limited variation in As bioaccessibility and As bioavailability among the 11 samples, a weak correlation was observed between them (R2 = 0.01-0.03); however, As bioaccessibility values measured by the gastric phase (GP) of the MPBET agreed with As bioavailability values based on a mouse bioassay, suggesting the potential of the MPBETGP to predict As bioavailability in rice. Future work is needed to ascertain the robustness of the MPBETGP in predicting As bioavailability in rice using additional samples.

Abstract
Aluminum (Al) toxicity in acidic soils is a major problem in rice crop production, especially in the acid sulfate soil (pH < 4.0). Selecting Al-tolerant varieties of rice with low toxicity is one of the most appropriate strategies to overcome this problem. In the present study, we investigated the Al content in different rice genotypes, IR64 (high yielding), RD35 (local acidic-tolerant), and Azucena (AZU, positive-check Al-tolerant), and their physiological and morphological adaptations under a wide range Al (10, 25, 50 mM [Al2(SO4)3]) treatments in the greenhouse conditions. Under 50-mM Al treatment, Al levels in the root tissues of rice seedlings cvs. AZU and IR64 were increased by 2.74- and 2.10-fold over control. Interestingly, Al contents in the roots of cv. RD35 were also exhibited by 2.04-fold over control. Similarly, Al contents in the leaves trend to increase in relation to a degree of Al treatments, leading to increase leaf temperature, chlorophyll degradation, limited CO2 assimilation, and negative effect on root traits under 50 mM Al were evidently observed. Therefore, leaf temperature was considered a sensitive parameter regulated by high concentration of Al (50 mM), leading to increase in crop water stress index (CWSI > 0.6) and decrease in stomata conductance. Net photosynthetic rate (Pn) and transpiration rate (E) in rice seedlings of cv. RD35 subjected to 50 mM Al were significantly dropped by 74.76% and 47.71% over the control, respectively, resulting in reduced growth performances in terms of root length (26.57% reduction) and shoot fresh weight (46.15% reduction). An enrichment of Al in the root tissues without toxicity in rice cv. AZU may further help in discovering the Al homeostasis. In summary, Al enrichment in rice genotypes grown under Al-treatments was evidently observed in the root, leading to the limited root growth, root length, and root dry weight, especially in cv. RD35. Al restriction in the root tissues of cv. AZU (Al-tolerant) may play a key role as defense mechanisms to avoid translocation to other organs and the stomata closure was an alternative key factor to limit H2O transpiration.

Abstract
In many acidic soils, high concentrations of toxic Al3+ hamper plant growth by restricting root growth which in turn restricts water and nutrient absorption. Previous research showed variation among chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) and wild Cicer species in root elongation at 15 μM Al or more, but effects on nutrient absorption have not been examined. The variation in nutrient uptake of two chickpea varieties (PBA HatTrick and PBA Striker) and two wild Cicer species (C. echinospermum (C. echi) and C. reticulatum (C. reti)) was determined in low pH (4.2) nutrient solution with increasing Al concentrations (0, 7.5, 15, 30 μM Al). While C. echi, PBA HatTrick and PBA Striker had thicker roots and more lateral roots compared to C. reti, C. reti had greater aluminium tolerance index (AlTI) at 15 and 30 μM Al. The C. echi had higher uptake of root and shoot Al (7.5, 15 and 30 μM Al), P and S (15 and 30 μM Al) while its uptake was marginally lower for Mg, Ca (all Al treatments) and K (15 and 30 μM Al). By contrast, C. reti contained higher shoot Ca concentration at 15 and 30 μM Al and it had lower root Al uptake. Manganese uptake by C. reti roots and shoots were high enough to induce moderate Mn toxicity at 0 and 7.5 μM Al. Therefore, in response to Al toxicity, C. reti maintained greater AlTI and restricted Al uptake while increasing Ca uptake.

Abstract
Background and Objectives:
Contamination of aquatic sediments by trace metals is one
of the global problems. This is because trace metals in sediments are persistent and nonbiodegradable.
They may pose danger to flora and fauna since they can be released into freshwater
systems. This study aimed at the development of microwave-assisted extraction using diluted hydrogen
peroxide and nitric acid for extraction of trace elements from sediment samples prior to inductively
coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP OES) determination.
Methods:
Response surface methodology (RSM) based on the Box-Behnken design was used for the
optimization of factors affecting the microwave-assisted extraction process. The optimum conditions,
for quantitative extraction of trace metals such as Cd2+, Cu2+, Cr2+, Pb2+ and Zn2+ were 16 min, 1.5 mol L-1
and 15% for extraction time, nitric acid concentration and H2O2 concentration, respectively.
Results and Discussion:
Under optimized conditions, the accuracy of the method was evaluated by
analyzing loamy clay certified reference materials (CRM052) and the recoveries were above 92%,
suggesting that the obtained results were in good agreement with the certified values. The developed
method has shown reproducibility (RSD < 5%), as well as relative low limits of detection (0.02-0.09 μg g-1)
and limit of quantitation (0.07-0.3 μg g-1). The developed analytical method was applied for extraction
and the determination of trace metals in freshwater sediment samples.
Conclusions:
The method displayed advantages such as simplicity, rapidity, environmentally friendly
and safe compared to classical methods that are based on concentrated acids.

Abstract
In this work, a home-made portable dielectric barrier discharge-atomic emission spectrometer (DBD-AES) was explored to the determination of heavy metal in foodstuffs. A rapid and simple method was developed for Cd determination in rice based on this instrument. Rice was pretreated with diluted acid dissolution without complex operations and apparatus. The detection time by DBD-AES is about 3 min and the total analysis time for rice sample is within 11 min. The effects of some key experiment parameters were investigated. The limit of detection was 11.9 μg kg-1 for Cd in rice, much lower than the maximum allowable level established by EC (200 μg kg-1). The practical performance of this method was demonstrated by analyzing real and CRM rice samples. With the portability of DBD-AES, the method is suitable for rapid and in-field analysis of Cd in rice. It will be a useful tool for the routine analysis of rice.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate three digestion procedures using a diluted oxidant mixture of nitric acid, hydrogen peroxide, and water for determination of Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, and Zn in shrimp and crab samples from Northern Brazil by microwave-induced plasma optical emission spectrometry. The efficiency of the digestion procedure was evaluated by comparing the residual carbon content, residual acidity, and elemental concentrations obtained in the samples. Digestion procedure 2 (4 mL HNO3 + 4 mL H2O2 + 4 mL H2O) was chosen due the adequate residual carbon content (5.85%) and low residual acidity (2.94 mol L-1). The recoveries obtained using the certified reference material (DORM-4) varied from 90 to 105%. High contents of K and Mg were found in the studied crustaceans. Also, it can give an excellent contribution to the recommended daily intake of Cu and Zn, indicating that these foods can be considered a good source of these minerals for the human diet.
