Abstract A totally automated method for the determination of nitrogen in feeds has been developed. The apparatus consists of Technicon Auto-Analyzer modules. The SOLIDprep Sampler II has been interfaced with the continuous digestor to provide complete solubilization and digestion of dry samples of feed, grain, and forage materials. Hydrogen peroxide is used as an aid for the wet digestion in the continuous digestor. Mercury, selenium, or copper metal catalysts were not effective for increasing the recovery of nitrogen during the continuous digestion. Nitrogen recoveries of 88–90%, relative to ammonium sulfate, have been obtained on several materials, i.e., corn grain, wheat, barley, rice, alfalfa, fescue, mixed feeds, and feed concentrates. The recoveries from these materials average about 100±2% when an empirical standard, soy hydrolysate, is used. The system operates at 20 samples/hr and has provided precise and accurate nitrogen analyses on collaborative samples. Other laboratories cooperated with us in evaluating the method by providing representative samples and their Kjeldahl analyses. This method provides a significant reduction in the labor required for large numbers of nitrogen analyses in feeds.

Abstract A simple and rapid wet-digestion procedure is described in which flour samples containing bound and unbound mercury are decomposed, using a sulfuric-nitric acid mixture in the presence of small amounts of vanadium pentoxide. Fortification studies with 3 organomercuric compounds on mixed cereal flour indicate average recoveries in excess of 96% in the 20–500 ppb range. This wet digestion method is compared with the Klein procedure to illustrate the advantages and significance of the vanadium pentoxide oxidation.

Abstract The wet ashing–dry ashing procedure for destruction of organic matter in high-fat foods for subsequent fluorimetric determination of selenium was investigated. Samples were decomposed by predigestion with nitric acid and dry-ashed with magnesium nitrate and hydrochloric acid. Selenium was recovered quantitatively through the total procedure. Detection limit was about 4 ppb. Accuracy was tested by analysis of several reference materials and by comparison with the wet-digestion method. The present method can be used conveniently for selenium determination in high-fat foods.

Precision And Accuracy

Wet digestion method had been used in river deposit of BZ profile. At the same time, Mn, Cu, Ba, Ni, Pb, Zn, Rb, V, Sr and Zr in river deposit were determined by ICP-OES. The results show that the relative standard deviations are all below 0.39%, while the recovery of standard addition is 94.3%~117.1%. The method is proved to have good precision and accuracy, and to be simple and rapid. And the measured data provide basis for paleoflood study in this area.

Abstract An existing laboratory procedure for selenium analysis using open-vessel wet digestion and liquid chromatographic fluorescence determination was modified for use with microwave digestion. The proposed microwave digestion method eliminated the hazards associated with the use of HCIO4 while maintaining excellent recoveries of selenium. A 2-step HNO3/H2O2 digestion procedure was developed. Digested samples were derivatized with 2,3-diaminonaphthalene, and the resultant piazselenol complex was measured fluorometrically using a liquid chromatograph. Measured values were in agreement with 9 different certified reference materials. The detection limit for this method was 0.54 ng Se/g tissue (3 ), and the calibration curve remained linear (r2 = 0.9968) up to 2 g Se/g.

AbstractA sensitive, simple and rapid method for ultra-trace determination of iron and manganese based on ultrasound assisted pseudodigestion in citric acid fermentation medium samples (beet and cane molasses and raw sugar based mediums) is described. Parameters influencing pseudo-digestion, such as sonication time, sample mass and solvent system were fully optimized. Final solutions obtained upon sonication were analyzed by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ETAAS). The best conditions for metal pseudo-digestion were as follows: a 25, 30 and 20 min sonication time for beet molasses, cane molasses and raw sugar based medium samples, respectively, 0.7 g sample mass of raw sugar based samples, 0.5 g sample mass of molasses based samples and an extraction mixture of concentrated HNO3-H2O2, in 25 mL of solvent. Analytical results obtained for the two metals by ultrasound assisted pseudo-digestion and conventional wet digestion methods showed a good agreement. This method reduces the time required for all treatments (heating to dryness, cooling and separation) in comparison with conventional wet digestion method. The accuracy of the method was tested by comparing the obtained results with that of conventional wet digestion method.

Abstract Seventeen laboratories collaborated in the study of analysis of feeds for calcium, magnesium, zinc, manganese, iron, and copper by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Six feeds and one mineral mixture were analyzed; both dry ashing and wet digestion were used to prepare samples. Three feeds were in the form of solutions to eliminate sample preparation as a variable. Strontium and lanthanum were added to the feed to eliminate phosphorus interference and results were compared. Results indicate that the method is suitable for calcium and magnesium. Further work is needed on the determination of zinc, manganese, iron, and copper.
