Elemental analysis of commonly consumed rice in Nigeria using PIXE technique

Elemental analysis of commonly consumed rice in Nigeria using PIXE technique

~ F890ff9019843e0e1d4697b70d9bcfaf.200x200
This study investigated the essential element (P, Cl, K, Ca, Mn, Fe, Cu and Zn) concentra-tions of some local and imported rice commonly consumed in Nigeria. This is done in order to select the rice with high nutrient to combat malnutrition, especially in children. Proton-induced X-ray emission (PIXE) techniques available at iThemba Labs Somerset West, South Africa was used for the analysis....
