Abstract An atomic absorption spectrophotometric method for determination of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) residues In pineapple juice was collaboratively studied by 9 laboratories. PDMS residues are extracted from pineapple Juice with 4- methyl-2-pentanone and the extracted silicone Is measured by atomic absorption spectrophotometry using a nitrous oxide/ acetylene flame. Collaborators analyzed 5 samples Including 1 blind duplicate. Reproducibility relative standard deviations (RSDR) were 13.1% at 31 ppm, 6.9% at 18 ppm, 14.8% at 7.9 ppm, and 16.1 % at 4.9 ppm PDMS. The method has been approved Interim official first action by AOAC.

Abstract A collaborative study was conducted on the 'atomic absorption spectrophotometric method for measuring the concentration of copper in alcoholic products. In this method, the samples are aspirated directly into the burner of the instrument, and the absorhance values are converted to ppm copper by reference to a standard curve. Data show good precision and are comparable to those obtained by the ZDBT method. It is recommended that the atomic absorption method be adopted as official, first action.

Abstract An atomic absorption spectrophotometric (AAS) method was collaboratively studied by 8 laboratories from Africa, the United States, Australia, and Europe. The samples were dispersed in deionized water. After centrifuging and filtering, the water-soluble copper in the filtrate was acidified and measured by atomic absorption spectrophotometry, in an airacetylene flame, at 324.7 nm. The results from 7 laboratories were satisfactory and no unfavorable comments were received. Repeatability standard deviations ranged from 0.005 to 0.023, and reproducibility standard deviations ranged from 0.012 to 0.062. When compared with the bathocuproine method, the difference in bias between both methods is not significant. They were both adopted as full CIPAC methods, with the bathocuproine method as the referee method. Both methods have been adopted official first action.

Caviar and dried apricots containing a known amount of added boric acid were subjected to a collaborative study. The samples were digested with sulfuric-nitric acid under reflux; the boron was then complexed with 2-ethyl-1,3-hexanediol and extracted into methyl isobutyl ketone. Boron in the organic phase was determined by atomic absorption, using a nitrous oxide-acetylene flame. The recoveries were satisfactory: 103, 95, and 93% for 300, 1000, and 1600 μg boron/g apricots and 95, 90, and 92% for the corresponding caviar samples. The method has been adopted as official first action.

Abstract The atomic absorption method studied last year was re-examined and extended to include calcium and sodium. The procedures were submitted to 16 collaborators for determination of Ca, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, Na, and Zn. Results for Ca and Na were discouraging; further study is recommended.

Abstract An interlaboratory study of a graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrophotometry (GFAAS) method for the determination of lead in wine was conducted. Seventeen laboratories from France, United States, and the United Kingdom, using a variety of GFAAS instruments, took part in the study. The method incorporated a novel matrix-matching procedure to minimize matrix effects between standards and samples. Six wine test materials were prepared and sent to participants as 12 blind duplicate or split level samples. There was good agreement between results obtained from participants and target values (24–279 μg/L) obtained with an inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry method. The precision of the GFAAS method was well within the range predicted by the Horwitz equation for the 6 test materials analyzed. Repeatability standard deviations ranged from 3 to 17%. Reproducibility standard deviations were in the range of 10 to 30%. The method is recommended for use for official purposes.

Abstract Fifteen official food control laboratories participated in a collaborative study of a spectrophotometric method to determine cyclamate in a soft drink and a dessert at concentrations of 90-311 mg/L and 202-526 mg/kg, respectively, with blind duplicates and a blank. Average recovery from the soft drink was 97.5%, and from the dessert, 98.6%. Reproducibility relative standard deviations were 4.7-6.5% and 6.9-8.5%, respectively. The outlier percentage was 5.5%. This study complements an earlier work by leading Nordic food laboratories and was designed according to the latest recommendations. The results of this study were compared with those of the earlier collaborative study and with general collaborative results obtained by AOAC.

Abstract A collaborative study evaluated the effect of wet vs. dry ashing on the atomic absorption determination of calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese, and zinc in feeds. Ten laboratories analyzed 6 samples. The high relative standard deviations indicate that ashing methods should be further studied.

Abstract Eight laboratories participated in an interlaboratory method performance (collaborative) study of a method for the determination of arsenic in foodstuffs of marine origin by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry after wet digestion using a microwave oven technique. The study was preceded by a practice round of familiarization samples. The method was tested on 8 materials (cod roe, krill, blue mussel, saithe, scampi, cod fillet, shrimp, and cod extract) ranging in As content from 2 to 75 mg/kg. The materials were sent to participants in the study as blind duplicates, and the participants were asked to perform single determinations on each sample. Repeatability relative standard deviations (RSDr) for As ranged from 6.8 to 17.4%. Reproducibility relative standard deviations (RSDR) ranged from 7.6 to 24%. The highest RSDR value was found for the sample with the highest concentration of As.

Abstract The method studied involves acid digestion, dithizone extraction, and determination by atomic absorption spectrophotometry and polarography. This study consisted of 2 phases, with 10 laboratories participating in Phase I and 15 laboratories in Phase II. The 12 commodities studied (lettuce, potatoes, orange juice, shredded wheat, milk, sugar, eggs, fish, frankfurters, rice, beans, and oysters) were spiked at 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 ppm cadmium. Only 3 collaborators submitted polarographic results. There were no statistically demonstrable differences for the atomic absorption method between spiking levels, commodities, or laboratories. Coefficients of variation were acceptable. The atomic absorption spectrophotometric method for determining cadmium has been adopted as official first action.
