F. Corradini et al., DETERMINATION OF ALKALI AND ALKALINE-EARTH METALS IN ACETO-BALSAMICO-TRADIZIONALE-DI-MODENA BY FLAME ATOMIC-ABSORPTION SPECTROSCOPY, Journal of AOAC International, 79(5), 1996, pp. 1167-1173
An atomic absorption spectroscopic method is proposed for determinatio
n of alkali and alkaline earth metals in Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale
di Modena (ABTM). Sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium were measu
red. Determination of these metals in the ABTM matrix can be a problem
. High dilution of samples eliminates the need for mineralization.
