Summary

Scallops are rich in essential trace elements like zinc and iron. These nutrients are vital for human health and cannot be synthesized by the body.

Area of Science:

  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Marine Biology
  • Nutritional Science

Context:

  • Scallops are a popular seafood choice, valued for their taste and nutritional profile.
  • Understanding the precise trace element composition of scallops is crucial for dietary assessments.
  • Trace elements play vital roles in human physiology and overall health.

Purpose:

  • To quantify the concentrations of eight key trace elements (Zn, Co, Fe, Mn, Mg, Ca, Cu, K) in scallop tissues.
  • To compare the accuracy and reliability of Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometry (ICP-AES) and Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) for trace element determination in scallops.
  • To validate the high-pressure nitrifying pot method for sample preparation.

Summary:

  • ICP-AES and AAS were employed to determine eight essential trace elements in scallops using a high-pressure nitrifying pot method.

  • Both analytical techniques yielded comparable results, demonstrating no significant differences.
  • High recoveries (93.3%-102.8%) and low relative standard deviations (<1.60%) confirm the method's precision and accuracy.
  • Scallops were found to be a rich source of beneficial trace elements essential for human health.
  • Impact:

    • Establishes scallops as a significant dietary source of essential trace elements.
    • Validates ICP-AES and AAS as suitable methods for analyzing trace elements in seafood.
    • Provides valuable data for nutritional databases and public health recommendations regarding seafood consumption.
    • Highlights the importance of trace elements, such as zinc and iron, found abundantly in scallops for human health.
