DETERMINAÇÃO DE ELEMENTOS ESSENCIAIS E TÓXICOS EM DIFERENTES AMOSTRAS DE ARROZ
Rice; Inorganic micronutrients; effect of pesticides
DETERMINATIONOFTOXICANDESSENTIALELEMENTSIN DIFFERENTSAMPLES OFRICE. The present study aimed to determine the essential elements (Mn, Fe, Zn and Cu) in different rice samples (organic rice, brown rice, white rice, rice grown cultivated with pesticides and rice grown cultivated without pesticides). In the determination were used Spectrometry Atomic Absorption (FAAS). It was expected that samples of organic rice were those who had the highest rates of micronutrients analyzed, although this has not occurred. It was evident that the brown rice samples are those with the highest concentration of nutrients analyzed and the effect of pesticide occurs in the long term use.
