Determination of Elements in Energy Drinks by ICP OES with Minimal Sample Preparation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Foram comparados vários procedimentos de preparo de amostras, isto é, decomposição total de uma mistura HNO3/H2O2 em placa de aquecimento, decomposição parcial por meio de solubilização em aqua regia e diluição com solução de HNO3 de baixa concentração, para determinação do conteúdo total de Ba, Ca, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, Ni, P, Pb, Sr e Zn em bebidas energéticas utilizando espectrometria de emissão ótica por plasma indutivamente acoplado (ICP OES). O critério foi o desempenho de cada método no que refere precisão, exatidão dos resultados e limites de detecção dos elementos obtidos por ICP OES. Os melhores resultados foram fornecidos pela diluição mais simples e fácil das amostras analisadas através de solução de HNO3 diluída, com limites de detecção dos elementos dentro de 0,08-42,0 ng mL -1, precisão de 0,5-3% e exatidão melhor que 5%. Seis amostras comerciais de bebidas energéticas foram analisadas com o procedimento proposto.

Sequential fractionation has helped improving our understanding of the lability and bioavailability of P in soil. Nevertheless, there have been no reports on how manipulation of the different fractions prior to analyses affects the total P (TP) concentrations measured. This study investigated the effects of sample digestion, filtration, and acidification on the TP concentrations determined by I...
