Aim: To propose a new method to determine in vitro potentially bioavailable fluoride (F) in diet and toothpaste after ingestion. Methods: Diet samples (D) were obtained from 15 portions of a meal served to children in a day care centre. To simulate the ingestion of toothpaste during brushing after meals, a specific amount of toothpaste was added to the diet samples (D + T). F was determined in D and D + T after incubation in a solution that simulated “gastric juice” (0.01 M hydrochloric acid) at 37oC for 30, 60 and 120 min. Microdiffusion facilitated by HMDS was used to determine the total F concentrations in samples D and D + T. The analyses were performed using an ion specific electrode. Results: For D samples, incubation in “gastric juice” for 30, 60 and 120 min resulted in F concentrations (μg F/mL) of 0.75 ± 0.06c, 0.77 ± 0.07c and 0.91 ± 0.09b, corresponding to 75.3, 77.3 and 90.7% of the total F (1.02 ± 0.12a), respectively (p = 0.0001; ANOVA + Tukey). For D + T samples, these values of F concentrations (μg F/mL) were 2.55 ± 0.46b, 2.83 ± 0.44ab and 3.15 ± 0.37a, corresponding to 86.9, 94.8 and 106.7% of the total F (2.99 ± 0.34a), respectively (p = 0.0023; ANOVA + Tukey). Conclusion: Then, it can be concluded that the proposed method of “gastric juice” is a promising protocol for determining potentially bioavailable fluoride in the diet and toothpaste after ingestion. However, additional studies are desirable.

Abstract A new method for the determination of nitrite and nitrate in foods will accurately determine concentrations as low as 1 ppm. 1-Naphthylamine is diazotized by nitrite and coupled with excess amine to give 4-(lnaphthylazo)-l-naphthylamine. The compound is extracted into CHCI3, the extract is acidified with methanol-hydrochloric acid, and absorbance is measured at 555 mµ. Nitrate is quantitatively reduced by passage through a cadmium column and determined as nitrite; nitrite passes through the column unaltered. Therefore, in samples containing both forms of nitrogen, nitrate is determined by difference. The method was applied to 194 samples of baby foods. Spinach, beets, wax beans, squash, “garden vegetables,” green beans, carrots, and “mixed vegetables” were found to contain, on the average, more than 20 ppm nitrate nitrogen.
