Abstract

Rice contributes significantly to both food security and livelihoods in Bangladesh. Despite challenges such as an immense population growth rate and decreased arable land since gaining independence, Bangladesh has attained self-sufficiency in rice production by adopting modern rice varieties (MRVs). However, not all introduced MRVs have gained widespread acceptance among farmers due to  concerns about productivity and profitability. Notably, BR11, an MRV, stands out as a prominently adopted rice cultivar during the  Aman rice-growing season. This study aims to assess the levels of essential nutrient minerals (Na, K, Ca and Mg) and potentially toxic  elements (PTEs) (Cd, Cu, Pb, Ni, Co, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cr) in the BR11 rice cultivar and also to evaluate associated health risks. The  concentrations of Na, K, Ca and Mg (mg 100 g–1) in the sampled BR11 rice cultivar were found to be 4.4 ± 2.4, 108.5 ± 24.9, 3.4 ± 0.4 and  4.5 ± 1.1, respectively. Among the PTEs, Cd, Pb, Ni, Co, or Cr contents were below the detection limit, while Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu contents  (mg kg–1) were 12.0 ± 4.0, 9.2 ± 1.5, 18.7 ± 2.7 and 2.9 ± 1.0. Comparisons of PTE contents in BR11 rice cultivars exposed to industrial  activities with those cultivated in non-industrial zones did not reveal any statistically significant variations (p < 0.05). The estimated  daily intake of nutrient minerals through the consumption of BR11 rice was significantly below the daily recommended dietary  reference intakes. Likewise, the accumulation of PTEs in the BR11 rice cultivar was well below the maximum allowable concentrations  recommended by WHO or FAO. Health risk assessments, involving the computation of non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic risks, did not  indicate any concerning risk scenarios associated with the consumption of the BR11 rice cultivar. The data suggests that BR11 is a  safe MRV for daily consumption, affirming its suitability for inclusion in the daily diet.
