Holistic strategy of study on authenticity and safety evaluation of Chinese wolfberry by ICP-MS combined with chemometrics

Objective:The correlation between heavy metals and harmful elements and the genuineness of Chinese wolfberries was studied,and a comprehensive strategy for the safety evaluation of authentic medicines was put forward for the first time.Methods:The strategy contained five steps,including sample collection,analysis and determination,multivariate statistical analysis,safety evaluation and risk assessment.After microwave digestion,lead,cadmium,arsenic,mercury and copper contents in Chinese wolfberries were determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry(ICP-MS).The results were analyzed by cluster analysis,principal component analysis(PCA)and self-organizing map clustering.And the safety was evaluated by single factor pollution index method and Nemerow comprehensive pollution index methods.Furthermore,based on the four basic steps of risk assessment,the health risk of the heavy metal and harmful elements in the samples was assessed.Results:The average contents of lead,cadmium,arsenic,mercury and copper in Chinese wolfberries from three origins was 0.30,0.066,0.05,0.003,6.71 mg·kg^-1,respectively.Cluster analysis and PCA showed that 33 batches of samples were divided into three groups,and the samples from the same origins were clustered into the same group.The results of self-organizing map clustering were consistent with that of PCA.Regularities between the distribution of Chinese wolfberries and origins could be found.The results of safety evaluation showed that the single factor index of lead,cadmium,arsenic,mercury and copper in all the samples was less than 0.7,and the comprehensive pollution index ranged from 0.11 to 0.51,which indicated that the pollution situation was safe.The results of risk assessment indicated that the health risk of heavy metals and harmful elements in samples from different origins was acceptable.Conclusion:The method established in this study can accurately and efficiently evaluate the heavy metals and harmful elements in Chinese wolfberries from different origins.And the study provides a novel model for the genuineness evaluation of Chinese medicinal materials.
