A simple and rugged method to determine Ca, K and Mg in a single aliquot of medicinal plants by high-resolution continuum source flame atomic absorption spectrometry is proposed. Secondary lines for Ca (239.856 nm) and K (404.414 nm), and the alternate line measured at wing of the secondary line for Mg at 202.588 nm allowed calibration within the 20 – 500 mg L-1 Ca and K, and 1.0 – 80 mg L-1 Mg. Twenty samples and three plant certified materials were analyzed. Results were in agreement at a 95% confidence level with reference values. Limits of detection were 2.4 mg L-1 Ca, 1.9 mg L-1 K and 0.3 mg L-1 Mg. The RSD (n=12) were ≤ 5.1% and recoveries were between 83 and 108% for all analytes.

The aim of this work was to evaluate the microemulsification after incomplete digestion as sample preparation procedure for determination of Ca in leisure foods by high resolution continuum source flame atomic absorption spectrometry (HR-CS FAAS). Microemulsions were prepared with digestive liquor and n-butyl alcohol as an auxiliary emulsifier after incomplete digestion treatment. The appropriate fuel flow, 70 L/h, and the optimum burner height, 5 mm, were obtained by single factor experimental design. The results showed that the correlation coefficient was better than 0.999, the characteristic concentration was 0.086 mg/L, the precision (RSD) for 6 replicate measurements of Ca was 1.7% and the average of recoveries was 102.1%. F-test and t-test (95% confidence level) in between the proposed method and the comparative method, using microwave digestion-HR-CS FAAS, had no significant difference. Therefore, the proposed method was accurate and stable with a high practical value. It provided scientific basis for determination of metal elements in food.
