In this work, we have measured the selenium content in wheat produced locally in eight different regions of Algeria from east to west, and we have established the annual consumption of selenium for five socio-professional categories. Instrumental neutron activation analysis is used. The selenium levels in wheat samples varied from 21 (Tiaret) to 153 μg/kg (Khroub), with a mean value about 52 μg/kg. The mean of selenium daily consumption from ingestion of wheat per person in the eight regions varied from 32 to 52 μg/day which is close to the minimal FAO recommendation.
► Cereals and cereal products represent a staple food in Algeria.
► The objective of this study is to determine the Se intake in wheat produced locally.
► The concentration of Se in the wheat reflects the level of the Se in regional soils.
► The mean of Se daily consumption is close to the minimal WHO/FAO recommendation.
