Study and Determination of As, Cr, and Pb in Amaranth Seeds

The concentration of As, Cr, and Pb toxic elements was determined in three species of amaranth seeds: A. hypochondriacus, A. cruentus, and A. dubius. The determinations were carried out by inductively coupled plasma optical atomic spectroscopy (ICP-OES). The result shows that Cr and As were found in...

Zusammenfassung:The concentration of As, Cr, and Pb toxic elements was determined in three species of amaranth seeds: A. hypochondriacus, A. cruentus, and A. dubius. The determinations were carried out by inductively coupled plasma optical atomic spectroscopy (ICP-OES). The result shows that Cr and As were found in minor concentrations than allowed by the World Health Organization (WHO; 120 and 4 mg kg−1 resp.); As (mg kg−1): A. dubius (0.76) A. cruentus (
