Abstract
Abstract In this present work, we have measured the selenium content in different foods frequently consumed in the region of Algiers. A nutritional deficiency in selenium is a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, muscular dystrophy and hepatic necrosis. Freeze-dried samples of food were collected and measured by INAA (Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis). We have established the annual consumption of selenium for five socio-professional categories, on the basis of data given by government agencies. We have determined the mean of selenium daily consumption by people in the region of Algiers as 130 µg per day and concluded that the daily selenium contribution in the region of Algiers is satisfactory.
