Optimization of extraction conditions and validation of the method for determination of arsenic species in carrageenan‑producing seaweed, Kappaphycus spp., Using HPLC‑ICP‑MS
Seaweeds are known for their nutritional benefits; however, they contain one of the highest levels of arsenic content. Arsenic species are found in various oxidation states in the environment, where inorganic arsenic is more toxic than organic ones. This study describes the optimization of extractio...
