Accurate and Rapid Determination of Arsenic Speciation in Apple Juice
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the past several years, concern about the presence of arsenic (As) in apple juice has grown greatly due to its publicity in the popular media. Arsenic can enter apple juice either naturally through environmental uptake by the apple trees or anthropogenically through the use of pesticides and/or contamination during processing. Regardless of how it enters the juice, the presence of arsenic is a concern, especially since apple juice is commonly consumed by children.

Arsenic speciation analysis in apple juice using HPLC - ICP - MS with the Agilent 8800 ICP - QQQ Application note
The presence of potentially toxic elements and compounds in foodstuffs is of intense public interest, and so food producers as well as regulators require rapid, reliable screening methods to accurately determine the levels of such contaminants in food and drink. In the case of arsenic (As), concentration levels in foods may be increased through the historical use of As-containing agrochemicals ...

A simple and rapid microextraction procedure based on dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) was developed for determination and speciation of trace amounts of chromium (Cr) by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS). In the proposed approach, chloroform and methanol were used as extraction and dispersive solvents. A new Schiff's base ligand, bis(2-methoxy benzaldehyde) ethylene d...
متن کاملConsiderations for the Determination of Trace Concentrations of Arsenic in Environmental Water Samples
Studies of the occurrence, distribution and aqueous geochemistry of arsenic in the environment requires accurate and sensitive analytical measurements. In addition to the determination of total arsenic concentrations, speciation of the form in which arsenic occurs plays a major role in its chemical reactivity and toxicity. Determination of speciation includes: the distribution of oxidation stat...
