Popis: | Seven algae samples, five purchased from food stores and two reference algae (BCR 279 Sea Lettuce) were distributed as blind samples to 13 labo- ratories from which five labs attempted a full charac- terisation of the water-soluble fraction with respect to their arsenic species. The extraction efficiency is largely dependant on the algae and varied from 3% to 96%. Besides inorganic arsenic (mainly as As (V) )D MA (V) and, in particular, several arsenosugars were identified in all samples. From the five labs, three labs gave agree- able results in respect of the arsenic species identification and its quantification, although different chromato- graphic methods were used. Different Hijiki samples seem to contain largely different arsenic concentration (67-113 mg As=kg) which may also have an influence on the distribution of inorganic arsenic and arsenosugars. |
