Fa. Chmilenko et Lv. Baklanova, ATOMIC-ABSORPTION DETERMINATION OF TOXIC ELEMENTS IN SUGAR AND SUGAR-CONTAINING FOODSTUFFS WITH ULTRASONIC SAMPLE PREPARATION, Journal of analytical chemistry, 53(8), 1998, pp. 784-786
A rapid atomic absorption procedure was developed for determining lead
, copper, and cadmium in sugar and sugar-containing foodstuffs. It was
shown that the ultrasonic pretreatment of test solutions makes the an
alysis more rapid and improves its sensitivity The detection limits of
Pb, Cu, and Cd in samples were 0.067, 0.013, and 0.004 mg/kg, respect
ively.
