Abstract
Background absorption is shown to result in spuriously high lead values in the analysis of plant digest solutions by atomic absorption Spectrophotometry. By measuring the absorbance of a spectral continuum in the region of the absorption line a correction can be applied. The corrected values are shown to be in reasonable agreement with values obtained cobrimetrieally for a wide range of vegetable foods.

## Abstract A method for determining copper in a wide range of foods by atomic absorption spectrophotometry is described and shown to be reliable and sensitive. It is shown that, when copper is chelated and extracted into ketone, very high sensitivity may be achieved; copper in aqueous extracts can
