We collected 14 rice samples from Cd contaminated areas and determined the Cd relative bioavailability (RBA) in rice using in vivo mouse bioassay. Cd-RBA in rice correlated positively with calcium and amylose content but negatively with the concentrations of sulfur, phosphorus, phytic acid, and crude protein. Based on the total and bioavailable Cd concentrations in rice, weekly dietary Cd intake for adults was estimated. This study demonstrates the possibility of predicting Cd-RBA based on rice compositions and provides valuable suggestions for health risk assessment.
Rice consumption is the primary route of cadmium (Cd) exposure to the populations with rice as the staple food. To accurately assess the potential health risks of Cd exposure via rice consumption, determination of Cd relative bioavailability (RBA) in rice is necessary. However, large variations exist in Cd-RBA, hindering the application of source-specific Cd-RBA values to different rice samples. In this study, we collected 14 rice samples from Cd contaminated areas and determined both rice compositions and Cd-RBA using in vivo mouse bioassay. Total Cd concentration varied from 0.19 to 2.54 mg/kg in the 14 rice samples, while Cd-RBA in rice ranged from 42.10% to 76.29%. Cadmium-RBA in rice correlated positively with calcium (Ca) (R = 0.76) and amylose content (R = 0.75) but negatively with the concentrations of sulfur (R = -0.85), phosphorus (R = -0.73), phytic acid (R = -0.68), and crude protein (R = -0.53). Cd-RBA in rice can be predicted by Ca and phytic acid concentrations in a regression model (R-2 = 0.80). Based on the total and bioavailable Cd concentrations in rice, weekly dietary Cd intake for adults was estimated to be 4.84-64.88 and 2.04-42.29 mu g/kg bw/week, respectively. This work demonstrates the possibility of Cd-RBA prediction based on rice compositions and provides valuable suggestions for health risk assessment with consideration of Cd-RBA.
