Abstract A procedure using an automated microwave flow digestion technique was developed and validated for the digestion of samples of certifiable color additives before mercury determination by cold vapor atomic absorption spectrometry. Recovery studies were performed by spiking most of the color additives subject to batch certification by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration with inorganic mercury (HgNO3) and with organic mercury (CH3HgCl). Successful recoveries of 72–113% Hg added at the 1 μg/g level were obtained. A method detection limit of 0.2μg Hg/g was estimated from a Hg-spiked FD&C Yellow No. 6 sample. At the specification level of 1 ppm Hg (1 μg Hg/g), the 95% confidence interval was ± 0.2 ppm (0.2 μg Hg/g).

Abstract A mixture of 50% H2O2–H2SO4 (3 + 1, v/v) was used for decomposition of food in open vessels at 80°C. The treatment allowed rapid total mercury determination by flow injection cold vapor atomic absorption spectrometry. Cabbage, potatoes, peanuts paste, hazelnuts paste, oats, tomatoes and their derivatives, oysters, shrimps, prawns, shellfish, marine algae, and many kinds of fish were analyzed by the proposed methodology with a limit of quantitation of 0.86 ± 0.08 μg/L mercury in the final solution. Reference materials tested also gave excellent recovery.
