Sažetak
The total selenium content of various foods produced and/or consumed in eastern Croatia was determined using the AAS hydride generation technique. The samples were previously digested in a mixture of perchloric, sulfuric, and nitric acids (1:1:5). As expected, rich sources of protein like fish, meat, eggs, etc., were also rich in selenium. The lowest selenium levels were found in fruit and vegetables. Foods grown in eastern Croatia were taken from two separate locations and significant differences were noted with higher concentrations in foods from the Sava basin. The mean content of selenium in foods (on the wet weight) was compared to the levels reported from other countries. It can be concluded that the soil in certain parts of eastern Croatia is rather low in this microelement.
