Abstract

A whole rice reference material was prepared for use in quality control of trace elements in rice and in similar matrices. This study aimed at evaluating the homogeneity of the material. As, Br, Co, Cs, Fe, K, Na, Rb and Zn were determined in the samples by instrumental neutron activation analysis. The material is homogeneous for the elements determined (p < 0.05), except for Co and Fe, which presented dispersion of results much higher than the predicted degree of repeatability.
