Area of Science:

  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Environmental Science
  • Food Science

Context:

  • Accurate quantification of trace elements in food is crucial for nutritional and safety assessments.
  • Germanium (Ge) is a metalloid with potential health benefits, necessitating reliable measurement techniques.
  • Existing methods for trace Ge determination can be complex and time-consuming.

Purpose:

  • To establish a simple, accurate, and sensitive spectrofluorometric method for quantifying trace germanium in vegetables.
  • To validate the method's performance, including its detection limit and accuracy.
  • To demonstrate the applicability of the method using a standard addition approach without prior extraction.

Summary:

  • A novel spectrofluorometric method was developed for trace germanium (Ge) determination in vegetables.
  • The method achieved a low detection limit of 0.569 ng/g and high accuracy (+/- 3.59% at 1 microg Ge).
  • Germanium content was successfully quantified using the standard addition method with mixed acid digestion, bypassing the need for extraction.

Impact:

  • Provides a streamlined analytical tool for researchers and regulatory bodies assessing germanium levels in food.
  • Facilitates more widespread monitoring of germanium in dietary sources.
  • Contributes to understanding the bioavailability and nutritional significance of germanium in vegetables.
