Abstract
|
|
|
|
| For the first time, the daily dietary silicon intake of adults in Belgium has been evaluated by duplicate portion sampling, the samples were heated in a microwave oven and atomic absorption spectrometric determination of the element was carried out. The mean intake value of adults (18.6+/-8.5 mg/day) is similar to the few data found in the literature. Since the silicon requirement of humans and animals is still unknown, no comparison could be made with recommended daily allowance values. |
