✦ Synopsis
A flame atomic absorption spectrometric procedure for determining the iron, zinc, manganese, calcium and magnesium contents of slurries prepared from vegetables is described. Samples were first submitted to a mild calcination step and then suspensions were prepared and introduced into an air-acetylene flame using a simple flow-injection manifold. The calibration for iron, zinc and manganese was carried out using either aqueous standards or a flow-injection sample-to-standard additions method applicable to suspensions. The calcium and magnesium contents were too high for the direct introduction of the slurries into the flame and so an on-line dilution system was used. Excellent agreement was found between the results of the slurry-based procedures and those obtained by an alternative method involving calcination and dissolution in acid. The reliability of the approach was confirmed by analysing two certified reference materials.
