Determination of metals in bottled coconut water using an inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer
Abstract
Macro- (Ca, Mg) and microconstituents (Mn, Fe, Zn and Cu) were determined in bottled Brazilian coconut water without a mineralization step using an Inductively Coupled Argon Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometer. The presence of these elements in this beverage was investigated, considering the lack of information presented by the manufacturers who mention, in general, only the Na, Ca and Fe content. The experimental parameters (plasma power, nebulization flow rate, torch configuration and yttrium as internal standard) were optimized. The determinations showed low matrix interference, RSD usually lower than 2% and good accuracy confirmed with the analysis of a reference material and the quantitative recoveries obtained in experiments using analyte addition. The ranges of concentrations (mg L(-1)) of the analytes in different brands were: Ca (178-232), Mg (87-129), Mn (1.8-3.8), Fe (0.08-0.18), Zn (0.2-0.36) and Cu (0.09-0.19). LOQ values are (mg L(-1)): Ca-2.10, Mg-0.24, Mn-0.01, Fe-0.05, Zn-0.06 and Cu-0.03. Considering the Reference Daily Intakes for Minerals (RDI), we estimated the nutritional contribution for 300 mL of the beverage, which is more relevant for Ca (6% of the RDI), Mg (8% of the RDI) and Mn (56% of the RDI).

Marked variability was observed among analysed commercial coconut water samples in mineral composition, organoleptic quality, and physicochemical and organoleptic characteristics.
“Marked variability of the analysed samples was observed: De Sousa et al. in mineral composition [80], Abreu et al. in organoleptic quality [81], and Pinheiro et al. and Fortes et al. in physicochemical and organoleptic characteristics [82,83].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
