Ultrasensitive determination of selenium in food samples and its speciation in water and beverages using thiosemicarbazide-incorporated graphene and total-reflection X-ray fluorescence spectrometry. Food Chem 2024; 439:138156. [PMID: 38064828 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2023.138156] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/17/2023] [Revised: 11/18/2023] [Accepted: 12/04/2023] [Indexed: 01/10/2024]
Abstract
The paper presents a new analytical procedure for the determination and speciation of trace and ultratrace selenium in water, beverages, seafood, milk, and vegetables. The developed method is based on the dispersive micro-solid phase extraction with the use of new thiosemicarbazide-incorporated graphene as a solid sorbent, in combination of the total-reflection X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (TXRF). As a result, we have created an auspicious analytical tool for fast and sensitive analysis of samples with a complex matrix. Regardless of the specimen type, the method is characterized by a very low detection limit of 1.7 pg mL-1 and high precision. The developed strategy allowed us to solve common problems associated with selenium loss during the sample preparation for the TXRF measurement and also improve its performance toward the analysis of beverages and high saline/solid samples, which may even be impossible to perform using standard sample preparation procedures for a TXRF measurement.

One-pot preparation of magnetic composite containing boronic acid groups and aminated multwalled carbon nanotubes for the speciation of Se(IV) and Se(VI) in water and milk samples by combination with chromatographic quantification. J Chromatogr A 2024; 1720:464800.

Abstract
Speciation of Se(IV) and Se(VI) is essential due to their significant differences in reactivity, toxicity and bioavailability. Efficient extraction is the pivotal step in the quantification of inorganic selenium species. In this work, a new magnetic nano-composite (MNC) containing boronic acid group and aminated multwalled carbon nanotubes was facilely fabricated by means of one-pot hydrothermal strategy. The prepared MNC contained abundant functional groups and satisfactory magnetic saturation value. Combining with magnetic solid phase extraction (MSPE) format, the MNC displayed satisfactory capture performance towards the complex formed by the coordination of Se(IV) and o-phenylenediamine (OPA). Adsorption isotherm and adsorption kinetics were studied in detail to investigate the adsorption procedure of Se(IV)/OPA complex on MNC. Under the optimal preparation conditions of MNC and extraction parameters, the MNC/MSPE was connected with HPLC equipped with a diode array detector (DAD) to quantify trace Se(IV) and Se(VI) species in water and milk samples. Se(VI) was reduced to Se(IV) and then the total inorganic Se was quantified by the developed method. Subtraction method was used to measure the concentration of Se(VI). The achieved limits of detection were in the ranges of 0.0082-0.013 μg/L and 0.041-0.13 μg/kg for water and milk samples, respectively. Recoveries in actual samples spiked with different amounts of analytes varied from 81.0 % and 117 %, and the RSDs for repeatability varied from 1.0 % to 10 %. In comparison with existing studies based on MSPE, the established method presents some merits such as greenness in the preparation of magnetic adsorbent, rapid extraction procedure, low cost and satisfactory sensitivity in the speciation of inorganic Se species.

Abstract
A new procedure that utilizing a preconcentration system based on magnetism-enhanced in-tube solid phase microextraction (ME/IT-SPME) and detection by HPLC with diode array detector (DAD) after liquid desorption from the microextraction column has been developed for the online measurement of tetraethyllead (TEL) in various aqueous samples. In this connection, according to the chemical features of TEL, porous monolith mingled with Fe3O4 nanoparticles were designed and synthesized in a silica capillary, and used as the microextraction column of ME/IT-SPME. To favor the implement of variable magnetic fields during extraction procedure, the as-prepared microextraction column was twined a magnetic coil. Results revealed that the exertion of magnetic field during the adsorption and eluting procedures assisted the extraction of TEL with an enhancement by 52% in extraction efficiency. Under the most beneficial conditions, the developed ME/IT-SPME was online hyphenated with HPLC/DAD to measure trace TEL in various aqueous samples. The limit of detection was 0.082 μg/L and the RSDs for precision were in the range of 6.3-8.5%. The recoveries with low, medium and high fortified levels varied from 80.6% to 95.0% with good repeatability. To the best of knowledge, this is the first study that using IT-SPME to extract TEL and then online quantification with HPLC/DAD.

Abstract
Selenium (Se) is considered to be an essential trace element needed for all living organisms. The importance, deficiency, and toxic effects of Se mainly depend on its quantity and chemical nature. It has been observed that the inorganic versions of Se are more hazardous than the organic versions. This review is mainly focused on the application of different extraction methods used for Se extraction and determination such as microextraction, solid-phase extraction (SPE), and their modified modes in the last 12 years. The use of different dispersive medium (magnetic field, ultrasonic radiation, and vortex agitator) to enhance Se separation is also part of this review. The usage of environmentally friendly solvents such as supramolecular solvents, hydrophobic deep eutectic solvents (DESs), and ionic liquids (ILs) are also the focus of attention in this review. This review is also emphasized the application of advanced microextraction methods, particularly liquid-phase microextraction (LPME). The most recent advances in LPME extraction techniques for Se in various environmental samples, as well as their prospects, are reviewed. Additionally, a summary of cheap, simple, and accurate techniques that have not yet been used to determine small amounts of Se has been provided.
