Sixteen minor and trace element contents of diet samples from three different social population groups in Taiwan were determined. Samples were prepared using duplicate portion technique by collecting the 15 subjects ate and drank during a 3-day period. Samples were homogenized, freeze-dried, and elemental concentration of minor and trace elements were determined by instrumental neutron activation analysis. Elemental concentrations and daily dietary intake of the elements were compared with those in the other nations, and possible origins were discussed.

Determination of minor and trace elements in Turkish diet by duplicate portion technique Parr, R. M.; Mumcu, Taşkın; Gökmen, İnci; Gökmen, Ayfle Filiz; Aras, Namık Kemal (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 1988-10) The minor and trace element content of diet samples from two different social population groups were determined. Samples were prepared by duplicate portion technique by colecting everything 16 subjects ate and drank during a 3-day period. Samples were homogenized, freeze-dried and elemental concentrations of Br, Co, Cr, Cs, Fe, K, Na, Rb, Sc, Se and Zn were determined by instrumental neutron activation analysis. Elemental concentrations and daily dietary intake of the elements were compared with the diets o...
Occurrence of fungi and their mycotoxins in individual Turkish dried figs Senyuva, H. Z.; Gilbert, J.; Samson, R. A.; Özcan Kabasakal, Süreyya; Ozturkoglu, S.; Onal, D. (Wageningen Academic Publishers, 2008-02-01) Fifty individual figs which had been rejected as potentially contaminated by sorting under UV light were separately analysed to identify the presence of fungi and their mycotoxins. Aflatoxin B-1 was found in 49 samples with levels ranging from 0.7 to 222 ng g(-1), with 40 individual figs containing more than 2 ng g(-1), indicating the efficacy of the UV screening process in identifying contaminated fruit. Ochratoxin A (OTA) was found in 32 of the figs at levels from 0.4 to 1710 ng g(-1), with 50% of the sam...
Trace level determination of beryllium in natural and flavored mineral waters after pre-concentration using activated carbon KILINÇ, ERSİN; Bakirdere, Sezgin; YAMAN, MEHMET (Informa UK Limited, 2011-01-01) The concentrations of beryllium (Be) in natural and flavored mineral water samples were determined by flame atomic absorption spectrophotometer (FAAS) after pre-concentration based on the complexation of Be(+2) with a mixture of acetylacetone (pentane-2,4-dione) plus morin (3,5,7,2',4'-pentaoxyflavone) and adsorption on activated carbon. The adsorbed complex was eluted with 1.5 ml of 2.0 M HNO(3) and evaporated to dryness. After adding 1.5 ml of 2 M HNO(3) and centrifuging, Be in acid solution was determine...
The growth behavior of Chlorella vulgaris in the presence of 4-chlorophenol and 2,4-dichlorophenol ŞAHİNKAYA, Erkan; Dilek, Filiz Bengü (Elsevier BV, 2009-03-01) Toxicity of 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) and 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) on the growth of Chlorella vulgaris was investigated in batch reactors. Results revealed that 4-CP did not adversely affect the growth of algae up to 20 mg/L, however higher concentrations inhibited growth appreciably and no growth was detected at 100 mg/L. 4-CP also caused some physiological changes in the algal cells as increasing initial 4-CP concentration caused a linear decrease in chlorophyll a (chl-a) content of the cell. 2,4-DCP up t...
PHYTATE CONTENT OF TAIWANESE DIET DETERMINED BY P-31 FOURIER-TRANSFORM NUCLEAR-MAGNETIC-RESONANCE SPECTROSCOPY WANG, CF; TSAY, SM; LEE, CY; LIU, SM; ARAS, NK (American Chemical Society (ACS), 1992-06-01) Phytate and trace element concentrations of the total daily diet of upper social groups in Taiwan were determined by P-31 FT NMR spectroscopy and by instrumental neutron activation analysis, respectively. Results of 15 samples are 2.21 +/- 0.71 g of phytate/kg of dry diet with the range 1.07-3.76 g/kg. The molar ratios of phytate to Zn and Ca were calculated, and bioavailabilities of these elements are discussed.
