Neutron activation analysis applied to nutritional and foodstuff studies. In: INTERNATIONAL NUCLEAR ATLANTIC CONFERENCE; MEETING ON NUCLEAR APPLICATIONS, 9th; MEETING ON REACTOR PHYSICS AND THERMAL HYDRAULICS, 16th; MEETING ON NUCLEAR INDUSTRY, 1st, September 27 - October 2, 2009, Rio de Janeiro, RJ. <b>Proceedings...</b> Disponível em: http://repositorio.ipen.br/handle/123456789/12274.http://repositorio.ipen.br/handle/123456789/12274Neutron Activation Analysis, NAA, has been successfully used on a regularly basis in several areas of nutrition and foodstuffs. NAA has become an important and useful research tool due to the methodology’s advantages. These include high accuracy, small quantities of samples and no chemical treatment. This technique allows the determination of important elements directly related to human health. NAA also provides data concerning essential and toxic concentrations in foodstuffs and specific diets. In this paper some studies in the area of nutrition which have been carried out at the Neutron Activation Laboratory of IPEN/CNEN-SP will be presented: a Brazilian Total Diet Study: Nutritional Element Dietary Intakes of São Paulo State Population; a study of trace element in maternal milk and the determination of essential trace elements in some edible mushrooms.openAccessaccuracyconcentration ratiodietexperimental datamilkmushroomsneutron activation analysisnutritionpublic healthtrace amountsTexto completo de evento
