Abstract: | Microwave digestion and isotope dilution inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ID-ICP-SFMS) has been applied to the
determination of Pb in rice flour. In order to achieve highly precise determination of low concentrations of Pb, the digestion
blank for Pb was reduced to 0.21 ng g−1 after optimization of the digestion conditions, in which 20 mL analysis solution was obtained after digestion of 0.5 g rice
flour. The observed value of Pb in a non-fat milk powder certified reference material (CRM), NIST SRM 1549, was 16.8 ± 0.8 ng
g−1 (mean ± expanded uncertainty, k = 2; n = 5), which agreed with the certified value of 19 ± 3 ng g−1 and indicated the effectiveness of the method. Analytical results for Pb in three brown rice flour CRMs, NIST SRM 1568a,
NIES CRM 10-a, and NIES CRM 10-b, were 7.32 ± 0.24 ng g−1 (n = 5), 1010 ± 10 ng g−1 (n = 5), and 1250 ± 20 ng g−1 (n = 5), respectively. The concentration of Pb in a candidate white rice flour reference material (RM) sample prepared by the
National Metrology Institute of Japan (NMIJ) was observed to be 4.36 ± 0.28 ng g−1 (n = 10 bottles).
Figure Digestion blank of Pb was carefully reduced to approximately 0.2 ng g-1 which permitted the highly precise determination of Pb at low ng g-1 level in foodstuff samples by ID-SFMS |
