Wheat Flour Selenium and Selenomethionine
Selenised wheat was obtained from a UK university. The grain was cleaned with
water, milled at a temperature between 18 °C and 20 °C and 60 % relative humidity,
and sieved twice to a final particle size of 140 µm.
The primary use of this certified reference material is for the validation of methods for
the determination of selenium and selenomethionine in food materials and dietary
supplements.
Certified Values
Total selenium .......... 17.23 ± 0.91 mg/L Selenomethionine ......... 27.4 ± 2.6 mg/L
