Ti and Se in fifteen agarwood from different resources and evaluate their safety. Method: The samples were digested by microwave digestion method
and detected by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry method. Result: The content of Pb and Cd of four samples from seven merchant samples were overrun the limit by China Pharmacopoeia Committee. However
the content of Cu
Pb
As
Hg and Cd of the other eight samples
including seven agarwood samples produced by whole-tree agarwood-inducing technique and one agarwood sample produced by fungi-inoculation method
met the requirement of Chinese Pharmacopoeia. Conclusion: At present now
the content of harmful heavy metal from lots of merchant agarwood were overrun the limit. It has become a very serious phenomenon. Therefore
we must pay high attention to the safety of agarwood for medicine.
