Trace element analysis has a key role to play in quality control of
food and diet. This timely book introduces the subject in a
practical way - from sampling and the techniques available for
trace analysis, to procedures for specific elements and data
analysis. Beginning with a brief introduction and discussion of
statistical evaluation of data, the subsequent chapter looks at
trace analysis in general, with its essentials and terminology.
Another section introduces sampling and preparation of foodstuffs
such as wheat, potato, vegetables and milk. This is followed by
descriptions of the various spectrometric techniques (atomic
absorption, atomic emission, atomic fluorescence) that are
available. Plasma techniques for both optical emission and mass
spectrometry are presented, as are nuclear activation analysis and
X-ray methods. A comparison of the various analytical techniques is
provided, and a separate chapter handles speciation analysis.
Finally, procedures for determining essential and toxic elements
such as arsenic, iron, selenium and zinc are suggested, using
several recent references. Detailed explanations and a simple
format will appeal to laboratory technicians and graduate students,
as well as more experienced researchers. Comprehensive coverage,
coupled with illustrations and a guide to relevant literature and
manufacturers, will make Trace Element Analysis of Food and Diet a
valuable source of information for anyone working on analysis of
trace elements in food, diet or other biological or environmental
samples - particularly food engineers, agricultural scientists and
government testing agency employees.
