Speciation analysis of selenium in rice samples by using capillary electrophoresis-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry

An enzyme-assisted extraction used to extract all species of selenium in rice sample and a sensitive analytical method for the determination of ultratrace Se(VI), Se(IV), SeCys₂ (selenocystine) and SeMet (selenomethionine) with capillary electrophoresis-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry were firstly described in this study. The extraction method is simple, effective and can be used to extract trace selenium compounds in rice with high extraction efficiency and no altering its species. The analytical method has a detection limit of 0.1-0.9 ng Se/mL, and can be used to determine trace Se(VI), Se(IV), SeCys₂ and SeMet in rice directly without any derivatization and pre-concentration. With the help of above methods, we have successfully determined Se(VI), Se(IV), SeCys₂ and SeMet in selenium-enriched rice within 18 min with a recovery of 90-103% and a RSD (relative standard deviation, n = 6) of 3-7%. Our results indicated that selenium-enriched rice contained only one species of selenium, SeMet, and its concentration is in range of 0.136-0.143 μg Se/g dried weight. The proposed method providing a realistic approach for the nutritional and toxical evaluation of different selenium compounds in nutritional supplements.     

Selenium Enrichment on <Emphasis Type="Italic">Cordyceps militaris</Emphasis> Link and Analysis on Its Main Active Components

To investigate the effects of selenium on the main active components of Cordyceps militaris fruit bodies, selenium-enriched cultivation of C. militaris and the main active components of the fruit bodies were studied. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and contents of cordycepin, cordycepic acid, and organic selenium of fruit bodies were sodium selenite concentration dependent; contents of adenosine and cordycep polysaccharides were significantly enhanced by adding sodium selenite in the substrates, but not proportional to sodium selenite concentrations. In the cultivation of wheat substrate added with 18.0 ppm sodium selenite, SOD activity and contents of cordycepin, cordycepic acid, adenosine, cordycep polysaccharides, and total amino acids were enhanced by 121/145%, 124/74%, 325/520%, 130/284%, 121/145%, and 157/554%, respectively, compared to NS (non-selenium-cultivated) fruit bodies and wild Cordyceps sinensis; organic selenium contents of fruit bodies reached 6.49 mg/100 g. So selenium-enriched cultivation may be a potential way to produce more valuable medicinal food as a substitute for wild C. sinensis.

Selenium speciation in enriched and natural samples by HPLC-ICP-MS and HPLC-ESI-MS with perfluorinated carboxylic acid ion-pairing agents

Selenium-enriched plants, such as hyperaccumulative phytoremediation plants (Astragalus praleongus, 517 micrograms g-1 Se, and Brassica juncea, 138 micrograms g-1 Se in dry sample), yeast (1200, 1922 and 2100, micrograms g-1 Se in dry sample), ramp (Allium tricoccum, 48, 77, 230, 252, 405 and 524 micrograms g-1 Se in dry sample), onion (Allium cepa, 96 and 140 micrograms g-1 Se in dry sample) and garlic (Allium sativum, 68, 112, 135, 296, 1355 micrograms g-1 Se in dry sample) were analyzed by HPLC-ICP-MS for their selenium content and speciation after hot water and enzymatic extractions. Reference samples with natural selenium levels, such as onion and garlic controls, cooking garlic powder, baking yeast powder and a commercial garlic supplement were also analyzed. Selected samples were also examined by HPLC-electrospray ionization (ESI)-MS. HPLC was mostly carried out with 0.1% heptafluorobutanoic acid (HFBA) as ion-pairing agent in 1 + 99 v/v methanol-water solution, but 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) in 1 + 99 v/v methanol-water solution was also utilized to permit chromatography for compounds that did not elute with HFBA. More than 75% of the total eluting selenium compounds, based upon element specific detection, were identified from retention time data and standard spiking experiments, and between 60 and 85% of compounds were identified by MS, with up to 25% of the total eluting molecular selenium species being unidentified as yet. Limits of quantification (LOQ, defined as the concentration giving an S/N of 10) for HPLC-ICP-MS were in the range 2-50 ng mL-1 Se in the injected extracts for the selenium-enriched samples and 2-10 ng mL-1 Se for the natural selenium level samples. LOQ values for HPLC-ESI-MS were ca. 100 times higher than those measured by HPLC-ICP-MS.     

Selenium speciation analysis at trace level in soils

This paper describes the development of an analytical methodology to determine speciation of selenium present in soils at trace level (μg kg(-1)). The methodology was based on parallel single extractions and high performance liquid chromatography hyphenated to inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (HPLC-ICPMS). Two complementary chromatographic separations were used to confirm Se species identity. Different extractants, selected on the basis of sequential extraction schemes, were compared. Ultrapure water, 0.1 molL(-1) phosphate buffer (KH(2)PO(4)/K(2)HPO(4)) at pH 7 and 0.1 molL(-1) sodium hydroxide extractants were finally chosen owing to their efficiency in extracting Se and compatibility with Se species stability. These extractants allow also assessing respectively water-soluble Se (i.e. the most mobile Se fraction), exchangeable Se (i.e. sorbed onto soil component surface) and Se bound to soil organic matter. This methodology gives thus information on Se mobility related to its distribution in soil with preservation of original Se speciation. Detection limits range from 3 to 29ng(Se)L(-1) and from 0.1 to 10 μg(Se)kg(-1), allowing determination of Se species concentrations in extracts from soils containing native Se at trace level. The methodology was applied to three soils with total Se concentrations between 210 and 1560 μg(Se)kg(-1).     

Evaluation of different sample extraction strategies for selenium determination in selenium-enriched plants (Alliumsativum and Brassicajuncea) and Se speciation by HPLC-ICP-MS

Several sample extraction techniques have been evaluated in order to obtain highest selenium (Se) extraction efficiency in two types of selenium-enriched plants (Allium sativum and Brassica juncea). Three extracting solutions have been studied for this purpose: 0.1 M HCl, 25 mM ammonium acetate buffer (pH 5.6) and protease in aqueous solution. In each case, the effect of the ultrasonic probe during extraction was also evaluated. Selenium extraction yields were calculated based on the ICP-MS determination of the total selenium content in the corresponding extracts and in the plant tissue after its microwave digestion. The action of ultrasounds allowed the reduction on the extraction time while maintaining good Se recoveries (which ranged from 75 to 120% of the total Se in the plant). The accuracy of total Se determination was controlled by analyzing a reference material (aquatic plant, BCR-670). On the other hand, speciation studies of the extracts were carried out by using ion-pairing reversed phase and size exclusion/ion exchange (Shodex Asshipak) liquid chromatographic columns. The two separation mechanisms were suitable to isolate the main extractable Se species which were identified as Se-methyl selenocysteine and Se-methionine in both systems. The extracts of both plants (A. Sativum and B. juncea) exhibited also the presence of several unknown Se-species.     

Rapid methods to detect organic mercury and total selenium in biological samples

Background  

Organic mercury (Hg) is a global pollutant of concern and selenium is believed to afford protection against mercury risk though few approaches exist to rapidly assess both chemicals in biological samples. Here, micro-scale and rapid methods to detect organic mercury (< 1.5 ml total sample volume, < 1.5 hour) and total selenium (Se; < 3.0 ml total volume, < 3 hour) from a range of biological samples (10-50 mg) are described.
