METHODS OF FLUOROMETRIC DETERMINATION OF TRACE AMOUNT OF SELENIUM IN BIOLOGICAL MATERIALS,WATER AND SOIL 2.DETER MINATION OF SELENIUM IN CEREALS AND VEGETABLES / 营养学报

2,3-Diaminonaphthalene was used for the fluorometric determination of selenium in cereals and vegetables. Nitric-perchloric-sulphuric acids mixture was used for digestion. Coefficient of variation and recovery for cereals were 4-10% and 97.1%, and for vegetables were 4-18% and 97.8% respectively. Addition of hydrochloric acid to the final digests could be omitted for ordinary cereals and soybean, but it was necessary for samples from seleni-ferous area and some vegetables with higher selenium content such as mushrooms.
