Abstract
The consumption of rice milk has increased, mainly by individuals intolerant to lactose or allergic to cow milk. However, rice milk contains As. In this sense, the concentration of As in rice milk should be controlled. In the present study it is proposed a methodology for determination of As(III), dimethylarsenic (DMA), monomethylarsenic (MMA) and As(V) species in rice milk using LC-ICP-MS. The main features of the methodology are fast analysis, easy and simple sample preparation, where the sample is 3-fold diluted in the mobile phase and then filtered. The four arsenic species investigated were detected in the analysed samples, being As(V) the main species. The limit of quantification of the method ranges from 0.25 to 0.43 μg L−1 As. The analyte recovery ranged from 81 to 116% for samples spiked to 1.00 μg L−1 or 5.00 μg L−1 As and the relative standard deviation was better than 5%.
