Determination of of potassium, sodium, chlorides, and nitrates in food products, food raw materials, and food additives
INTRODUCTION
The method is used for the determination of the mass fraction of cations (potassium, sodium) and anions (chloride , nitrate) in samples of all types of food products (including milk and dairy products), food raw materials, and food additives by capillary electrophoresis.
Determining the mineral composition of food products is crucial during their production, certification, and quality control.
MEASURING METHOD
The measurement method is based on extraction of components from a solid sample by water (dilution of a liquid sample) and their determination by capillary electrophoresis with indirect UV detection at the wavelength of 254 nm. Potassium and sodium or chlorides and nitrates are determined simultaneously.
