Determination and Analysis of Trace Elements in Five Kinds of Traditional Chinese Medicine in High Blood Pressure Medicinal Food by ICP-AES

Abstract

Objective. To establish a method for analysis of microelements in five kinds of traditional Chinese medicine in high blood pressure medicinal food, mainly including manganese, cobalt, selenium, iron, magnesium, and other 15 elements. Methods. The samples were digested using a microwave digestion instrument through NHO3-H2O2 solution, and then, the elements were synthesized by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES). Results. The content of cobalt, manganese, zinc, copper, and nickel in the high blood pressure diet foods is higher, the RSD is between 0.005% and 4.82%, and the recovery rate ranges from 93.40% to 106.5%. The precision and recovery of the detection method are higher. Conclusion. The experiment result is better. Medicinal foods curing high blood pressure contain a number of micronutrients that are beneficial to the human body. This experiment provides some meaningful basis for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension.

“…The impact of micronutrients on recovery from critical illness has been a subject of investigation, particularly in the context of oxidative stress and the role of antioxidants in supporting recovery (43). Overall, studies have highlighted the potential benefits of micronutrient supplementation in promoting recovery from critical illness, emphasizing the importance of addressing micronutrient deficiencies during the recovery phase.…”

Heavy Metals and Probabilistic Risk Assessment via Pheretima (a Traditional Chinese Medicine) Consumption in China

“…However, they become toxic at higher concentrations (Filipiak-Szok et al, 2015). For instance, the maximum concentration of Mn in a Coix seed from a Chinese local medicine store was 32.30 mg/kg, which exceeded the limit (Yang et al, 2020). In 2014, some studies have pointed out the maximum content of Cr in Scutellariae radix from Heilongjiang Province was 84.76 mg/kg (Chen et al, 2021).…”
