Abstract: A new method was developed for the determination of trace selenium (Se) in enzymatic hydrolysates of rice by direct injection-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), and applied to evaluate the Se bioaccessibility during in vitro gastrointestinal digestion. After filtration and centrifugation, the prepared samples were determined by direct injection-ICP-MS. The proposed method showed a good linearity in the concentration range of 0–160 μg/L with correlation coefficient above 0.999 5 and a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.009 μg/L. The recoveries of spiked samples were between 95.3% and 102.8%, and the relative standard deviations (RSDs) were in the range of 0.87% to 4.48%. Furthermore, the direct injection-ICP-MS method was successfully applied to determine trace Se in in vitro gastrointestinal digestion products of cooked rice with short analysis time and environmental friendliness. In conclusion, this method can be used in nutritional evaluation in vitro of Se-enriched grain materials.
