Content, speciation and in vitro bioaccessibility of trace elements in seaweeds and derived food products Universiteit Gent
Seaweed products currently emerging in Europe are known to be potentially contaminated by toxic elements. The present study focused on the contents and bioaccessibility of trace elements in seaweed products available in Belgium. A total of 231 samples were collected in markets and As, Cd, Ni, Hg, Pb, I and Se concentrations were measured. Moreover, As speciation and the effect of a washing treatment on total concentrations of trace ele-ments ...
