Anal Chim Acta 2023; 1250:340952. [PMID: 36898809 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2023.340952] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2022] [Revised: 02/03/2023] [Accepted: 02/06/2023] [Indexed: 02/10/2023]
Abstract
The present work explores for the first time the potential of formic acid on the extraction of tiemannite (HgSe) nanoparticles from seabird tissues, in particular giant petrels. Mercury (Hg) is considered one of the top ten chemicals of major public health concern. However, the fate and metabolic pathways of Hg in living organisms remain unknown. Methylmercury (MeHg), largely produced by microbial activity in the aquatic ecosystems is biomagnified in the trophic web. HgSe is considered the end-product of MeHg demethylation in biota and an increasing number of studies focuses on the characterization of this solid compound to understand its biomineralization. In this study, a conventional enzymatic treatment is compared with a simpler and environmentally friendly extraction by using formic acid (5 mL of = 50 % formic acid) as exclusive reagent. The analyses by spICP-MS of the resulting extracts from a variety of seabird biological tissues (liver, kidneys, brain, muscle) reveal comparable results by both extraction approaches in terms of nanoparticles stability and extraction efficiency. Therefore, the results included in this work demonstrate the good performance of employing organic acid as simple, cost effective and green procedure to extract HgSe nanoparticles from animal tissues. Moreover, an alternative consisting of a classical enzymatic procedure but with ultrasonic assistance reducing the extraction time from 12 h to 2 min is also described for the first time. The sample processing methodologies developed, combined with spICP-MS, have emerged as powerful tools for the rapid screening and quantification of HgSe nanoparticles in animal tissues. Finally, this combination allowed us to identify the possible occurrence of Cd particles and As particles associated with HgSe NPs in seabirds.

Abstract
A simple procedure for determination of Al, Cr, K, Mg, Mn, and Zn using diluted organic acid in the preparation of shrimp (Macrobrachium amazonicum) and crab samples (Ucides cordatus) was proposed in this study. Determinations were performed using microwave-induced plasma optical emission spectrometer (MIP OES). The contents of elements were evaluated after solubilization of samples in 50% formic acid (v v-1) and subsequent heating in bath with stirring and heating at 90 °C. The accuracy of the proposed procedure was assessed using certified fish protein reference material (DORM-4) and the recovery percentages ranged from 91 to 117%. Microwave-assisted acid decomposition was used for a comparison of results with the procedure proposed using diluted formic acid, and the values obtained for all analytes were statistically equal at 95% confidence level. Cr levels were below the limit of detection. Potassium (7917-19,644 mg kg-1), Mg (1319-5376 mg kg-1), and Zn (43-307 mg kg-1) were the most abundant elements in the crustacean species studied can be considered good sources of these constituents for human diet. The proposed procedure using diluted formic acid was considered simple and suitable to determine Al, Cr, K, Mg, Mn, and Zn concentrations in crustaceans using MIP OES.

Abstract
Based on green analytical chemistry principles it is important to evolve procedures that convert solid samples into solutions without using excessive reagent quantities, energy, temperature, and avoiding waste generation. To reach this aim, a simple infrared assisted digestion (IRAD) method for animal feed analysis was proposed. Infrared radiation (IR) with 2 mL of HNO3 and 2 mL of H2O2 were assessed, presenting low dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and residual acidity (RA) in the final digest, being fully compatible with microwave induced plasma atomic emission spectrometry (MIP OES). Calcium, Cd, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Na, P, Sr and Zn were determined in reference materials and in animal feeds. Limits of quantification were between 2.52 and 284 mg kg-1 for Ca and P respectively. Recovery values ranged 80-120%, with relative standard deviations (RSD%) under 8%. The friendliness offered by the IRAD MIP OES method was evaluated by two green indexes. Concentrations in feedstuffs were compared with National Research Council (NRC) recommendations.

Abstract
Traditional copper coffee pots are widely used in these modern times and daily consumption of coffee brewed in overused/old pots increases the risk of copper ingestion. This study employed a green switchable solvent-based liquid-phase microextraction (SS-LPME) method to isolate and preconcentrate copper from water boiled in coffee pots. Copper was determined by a flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) system coupled with a slotted quartz tube (SQT). 1,5-Diphenylcarbazone was added to aqueous samples to form a complex with copper before the extraction step. Box-Behnken experimental design was applied to select optimum conditions of the extraction method that were used to validate the analytical method. The limits of quantification and detection of the optimized SS-LPME-SQT-FAAS method were determined as 9.1 and 2.7 μg/L, respectively. Water samples boiled in traditional coffee pots were spiked at different concentrations and analyzed to ascertain the method's accuracy and applicability to real samples. Satisfactory recovery results obtained in the range of 92-107% established good accuracy, and percent relative standard deviations lower than 8.0% also proved high precision.

Abstract
The present study represents the determination of Ti and Cr in dry animal feeds using wet acid digestion and inductively coupled plasma–atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES), in order to use these metals as digestibility markers. A radiofrequency power of 1350 W and a nebulizer argon flow of 0.8 L/min was selected. The limits of detection were between 11.4 and 16.1 μg/g for titanium and between 10.7 and 38.2 μg/g for chromium. The recovery values for the aqueous solutions were 89.5–103.9% (titanium) and 85.3–104.2% (chromium), with relative standard deviations (RSD%) under 2.1% and standard errors under 2.32%, demonstrating that the method offered good accuracy and repeatability. Six different samples of commercially available feedstuffs (two cat foods, two dog foods, and two poultry foods) were analyzed and the levels of investigated metals were found to be in the ranges of 0.10 g/kg and <LOD for chromium and titanium, respectively (dog foods); 0.10–0.18 g/kg, 0.70 g/kg for chromium and titanium, respectively (cat foods); and 0.07 g/kg, 0.82–1.35 g/kg for chromium and titanium, respectively (poultry foods).
