Total determination and speciation analysis of Se in commercial and selenised Agaricus mushrooms have been performed to investigate the Se species naturally occurring in non-enriched mushrooms as well as those present in specimens grown in a Se-enriched medium. Mushroom aqueous and enzymatic extracts have been analysed by three complementary chromatographic separation mechanisms (size-exclusion, anion-exchange and reversed-phase) coupled to an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer with an octopole reaction system. Post-column isotope dilution analysis has been used on-line with the separations for quantification of the Se species eluted. The Se-78-to-Se-77 isotope ratio was monitored after adequate corrections for both total determinations and Se species quantitative speciation. The results showed marked differences not only in total Se contents but also in Se species found in the two types of Agaricus mushrooms investigated. Selenomethionine was detected in both of them (free in commercial mushrooms and incorporated into proteins in selenised ones) together with a number of unknown selenocompounds.
