Determination of fluoride in infant juices using fluoride ion-selective electrode
Апстракт
Infant juices (concentrated liquids) and baby food in the form of porridge are the main sources of fluoride intake during infancy, alongside breast milk. In addition, fruits and vegetables used to make infant juices play an important role in the fluoride content of infant formula supplements. Monitoring the fluoride content in such formulations is crucial to ensure the safety, quality, and optimal health of the youngest consumers. An unbalanced intake of this ion can lead to diseases such as dental fluorosis and skeletal bone disease, and high fluoride concentrations can have a negative impact on brain development and cognitive abilities in newborns.
The aim of this study was to determine fluoride in 17 samples of selected infant juices available on the Serbian market from four different manufacturers using fluoride ion-selective electrodes, as a rapid, reliable, robust, economical, and environmentally friendly method.
The method was applied without significant prior sample prepara...tion, using the standard addition method, and the fluoride concentrations ranged from 0.0845 to 0.2810 mg/L.
The results obtained were below the values recommended by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and the Scientific Committee on Food (SCF) for fluoride ion concentrations.
Considering that children, especially infants, are the most vulnerable to the harmful effects of fluoride, more attention must be paid to the consumption and contribution of this element from other food sources. From this point of view, health authorities should emphasize fluoride as an additional toxic element and carry out more controls on infant feeding.
