Rice finding 2702

Source evidence and comparison details for the Rice profile.

Rittirong et al. 2018

Raw white rice grain (milled), three brands grown in central Thailand · Aluminium (Al) · 3 rice brands (3); 20 cooking combinations.

Selected finding and reference

76,500 µg/kg (mean ± 19,700 SD)Mean.

3 rice brands (3); 20 cooking combinations. Basis: dry weight (raw grain oven-dried at 65 C for 48 h, then milled).

No non-detects reported; instrument detection limit 20 ng/L in digest solution (900 ng/L Fe), not converted to a mass-basis LOD by the source.

HMI baseline position

Limited data: No compatible reference units exist for this analyte, material and basis after the complete rice ledger. Missing evidence never means low contamination.

No compatible reference units exist for this analyte, material and basis after the complete rice ledger.

Reference version and interpretation

Frozen evidence selection: 2026-10-22. Method: hmi-pooled-reference-v2.

No admitted reference

The reference is computed by HMI from admitted evidence, not copied from a study baseline. It describes the evidence currently in this scope; it is not a worldwide or current-lot benchmark. Source, year and region filters do not change it. Different HMI scopes are not one common ranking.

Collection period

Collection date unreported

No year-by-year sample register is reconstructed from this summary.

Geographic scope

Raw Rice

Purchase or reporting market; growing origin not identified.

Sampling, analysis and reporting limits

HNO3 hot-plate digestion (95 C); ICP-MS (Agilent 7500a/7500c).

No non-detects reported; instrument detection limit 20 ng/L in digest solution (900 ng/L Fe), not converted to a mass-basis LOD by the source.

Shared samples and study overlap

Subgroup rows, statistics of the same subgroup and the study total share samples; they are not independent results.

Each table row describes a food/analyte result. Repeated rows do not add independent samples or datasets. No cross-study trend is calculated in this comparison mode.
