Determination of Selenium in Foods
1 Scope
This standard specifies hydride-atomic fluorescence spectrometry, fluorescence spectrophotometry and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry for determination of selenium content in foods.
This standard is applicable to determination of selenium in various foods.
Method I Hydride-atomic Fluorescence Spectrometry
2 Principle
After hot digestion of the specimen with acid, in 6mo1/L hydrochloric acid medium, hexavalent selenium in specimen is reduced to quadrivalence selenium, which is reduced to hydrogen selenide in hydrochloric acid medium with sodium borohydride or potassium borohydride as the reductant; hydrogen selenide is brought into an atomizer by carrier gas (argon gas) for atomization; under the irradiation of selenium hollow cathode lamp, ground state selenium atom is excited to upper state and emits fluorescence with characteristic wavelength after being deactivated to ground state, whose fluorescence intensity is in direct proportion to the selenium content and compared with standard series for quantitation.
