Dietary intakes of eighteen elements and <Superscript>40</Superscript>K in eighteen food categories by Japanese subjects

Summary Dietary intakes of eighteen elements and ⁴⁰K were estimated by Japanese subjects using a market basket study. High concentrations of most nuclides were found in 4 categories among 18 categories (nuts and seeds, bean products, seaweeds, and fishes and shellfishes). The main contributors were rice, bean products, and fishes and shellfishes. Daily intakes were estimated (in mg) as follows: sodium 3.91 ^. 10³; potassium: 2.49 ^. 10³; phosphorus: 1.09 ^. 10³; calcium: 551; magnesium: 273; iron: 9.82; zinc: 9.41; manganese: 3.54; strontium: 2.52; rubidium: 2.34; copper: 1.61; barium: 0.543; chromium: 0.283; nickel: 0.172; lithium: 0.060; cadmium: 0.022; cesium: 0.0091; cobalt: 0.0095; and ⁴⁰K: 89 Bq.     

Evaluation of Matrix Effects in a Pulsed Electrolyte Cathode Atmospheric Pressure Discharge Source for Atomic Emission

In sample measurements, matrix effects are unavoidable. The matrix effects are one of the main factors affecting the accuracy of the pulsed electrolyte cathode atmospheric pressure discharge detection system. The stability of sodium, potassium, and magnesium, under optimized parameters is measured; the relative standard deviation of spectral intensity is found to be no more than 2%; and the relative standard deviation of background intensity is less than 2%. The matrix effects on the elements potassium, sodium, and magnesium were studied, and the experiments showed that high concentrations of sodium and potassium interfere with each other. A concentration of 200?mg?L^?1 K⁺ affected the sodium signal with an enhancement of more than 120%; and the K⁺ intensity increased 20% in the presence of a high concentration of 200?mL^?1 Na⁺. In high concentrations of sodium or potassium, the elemental signal for magnesium enhancement was approximately 8%. Sodium, potassium, and magnesium were quantitatively determined using a mixed calibration sample. When sodium, potassium, and magnesium are present at low concentrations in solution, there were no obvious matrix effects. The sodium, potassium, and magnesium in the calibration samples are quantitatively determined. The relative error and precision are less than 3%, and the recoveries are less than 105%. The detection limits for sodium, potassium, and magnesium were found to be 2.1, 3.4, and 92.6?µg?L^?1, respectively.     

Differentiation of Spanish brandies according to their metal content

Eleven metals, namely, aluminium, calcium, cadmium, copper, iron, lead, magnesium, manganese, potassium, sodium and zinc were determined in twenty samples of Sherry brandies and twelve samples of Penedés brandies by applying atomic spectrometry techniques. Flame atomic absorption spectrometry was used for quantitating calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese and zinc; atomic emission spectrometry to determine potassium and sodium; and graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry to analyse aluminium, cadmium and lead. A chemometric approach was followed to study the discrimination between brandies from Sherry or Penedés according to the metal profile.     

Relationship between the level of essential metal elements in human hair and coronary heart disease

Studies on epidemics have demonstrated the relationship between coronary heart disease (CHD) and mineral substances, such as selenium, calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, copper, zinc, iron, manganese, and vanadium, in human bodies. In this study, instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) and flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry (FAAS) were applied to evaluate the levels of selenium, calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, copper, zinc, and iron in healthy individuals and CHD patients. Hair samples were collected from 42 healthy participants and 28 diagnosed CHD patients. Calcium, magnesium, copper, and zinc levels in healthy individuals are significantly higher than the levels found in the patients (p < 0.01). Calcium/selenium ratio is also significantly higher in healthy individuals (p < 0.05). Based on the possible synergies and/or antagonisms of elements and their absorption and metabolism, magnesium/calcium, zinc/copper, and sodium/potassium ratios showed positive relevance (p < 0.01).

Acidocalcisomes of Phytomonas fran?ai possess distinct morphological characteristics and contain iron.

Acidocalcisomes are acidic calcium storage compartments described initially in trypanosomatid and apicomplexan parasites, and recently found in other unicellular eukaryotes. The aim of this study was to identify the presence of acidocalcisomes in the plant trypanosomatid Phytomonas fran?ai. Electron-dense organelles of P. fran?ai were shown to contain large amounts of oxygen, sodium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, iron, and zinc as determined by X-ray microanalysis, either in situ or when purified using iodixanol gradient centrifugation or by elemental mapping. The presence of iron is not common in other acidocalcisomes. In situ, but not when purified, these organelles showed an elongated shape differing from previously described acidocalcisomes. However, these organelles also possessed a vacuolar H+-pyrophosphatase (V-H+-PPase) as determined by biochemical methods and by immunofluorescence microscopy using antibodies against the enzyme. Together, these results suggest that the electron-dense organelles of P. fran?ai are homologous to the acidocalcisomes described in other trypanosomatids, although with distinct morphology and elemental content.

Determination of phosphorus in fertilizers by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry

An inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) method was developed for the determination of phosphorus in fertilizers. Total phosphorus, direct extraction available phosphorus (EDTA), and water-soluble phosphorus, reported as phosphorus pentoxide (P205), in 15 Magruder check fertilizers were measured by ICP-AES, and the results were compared with those obtained by the AOAC official method. Five analytical wavelengths of phosphorus, 177.499, 178.287, 213.618, 214.914, and 253.565 nm, were tested for the determination of phosphorus in fertilizers, and their detection limits were obtained.

Analysis of elements in wine using near infrared spectroscopy and partial least squares regression

The use of visible (VIS) and near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) to measure the concentration of elements in Australian wines was investigated. Both white (n=32) and red (n=94) wine samples representing a wide range of varieties and regions were analysed by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) for the concentrations of calcium (Ca), potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), phosphorus (P), sodium (Na), sulphur (S), iron (Fe), boron (B) and manganese (Mn). Samples were scanned in transmittance mode (1mm path length) in a monochromator instrument (400-2500nm). The spectra were pre-treated by second derivative and standard normal variate (SNV) prior to developing calibration models using partial least squares (PLS) regression method with cross-validation. The highest coefficients of determination in cross-validation (R(val)(2)) and the lowest errors of cross-validation (SECV) were obtained for Ca (0.90 and 9.80mgL(-1)), Fe (0.86 and 0.65mgL(-1)) and for K (0.89 and 147.6mgL(-1)). Intermediate R(val)(2) (<0.80) and SECV were obtained for the other minerals analysed. The results showed that some macro- and microelements present in wine might be measured by VIS-NIRS spectroscopy.     

Trace metal studies of selected white wines: an alternative approach

A number of white wines from vineyards outside the metropolitan region of Melbourne were analyzed for the trace metals copper, iron, potassium, sodium, magnesium and calcium by atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS). The 24 wines analyzed included Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Gewürztraminer and Pinot Gris. In addition, preliminary transmission near infrared (NIR) spectrometric analyses for these metals in the above wines indicated, using both multiple linear regression (MLR) and partial least squares (PLS), that promising results may be obtained for some metals. The squared correlation coefficients (R²) and the ratios of the standard error of cross validation (SECV) and the standard deviation (S.D.) for the calibration models for potassium, sodium, magnesium and calcium were acceptable, however those for iron and copper were not. Although, only a small number of wines were used in this study, the preliminary data indicated that NIR spectrometry may provide a suitable, rapid method for analysis for some metals in white wines, and warrants a further investigation using a larger number of white wines over a wider range of locations.
