Abstract The present study evaluated the levels of Mn, Se, Cu and Zn in beef cuts available at markets in Serbia. We also assessed the risk associated with the consumption of these foods based on the estimated daily intake (EDI) of these elements. Thirty-six beef meat cuts were analysed using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The EDI of all the studied elements was estimated on the basis of a calculation of the amount of beef consumed by Serbian households (mean beef consumption of 17.2 g/person/day). The studied beef cuts pose no risk with respect to the EDIs of Mn, Se, Cu and Zn. Among the four studied beef cuts, shoulder had the highest content of dietary zinc (68.2 mg/kg).

In terms of nutrition, dates are an important commodity because they are a source of carbohydrates and minerals. Saudi Arabia is the second largest producer of dates worldwide. Khalas is the tenth most popular date type in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), but only limited information related to the levels of essential nutrients in Khalas dates is available. The concentrations of Mn, Cu, Zn, and Se were determined using inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The average concentrations in wet weight were as follows (mg/kg): Mn (2.90 ± 0.54), Cu (1.78 ± 0.64), Zn (1.72 ± 0.42), and Se (0.10 ± 0.06). The calculated intakes (μg/kg bw day) per 100 g dates for each element were as follows: Mn (4.14), Cu (2.54), Zn (2.46), and Se (0.14), which represent 0.14%, 0.51%, 0.25%, and 0.2%, respectively, of the provisional maximum tolerable daily intake (PMTDI) recommended by the EFSA/WHO. It was found that levels of the analysed essential elements in up to 100 g of Khalas dates do not exceed the level set by the EFSA/WHO.

<p>The article demonstrates the importance of using a suitable approach to compensate for dead time relate count losses (a certain measurement artefact) whenever short, but potentially strong transient signals are to be analysed using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Findings strongly support the theory that inadequate time resolution, and therefore insufficient compensation for these count losses, is one of the main reasons for size underestimation observed when analysing inorganic nanoparticles using ICP-MS, a topic still controversially discussed.</p>
