Osteoporosis is a worldwide disease depicted by the reduced bone mass, an adequate supply of minerals is needed to support bone remodeling, and their deficiency causes bone-related diseases, osteoporosis in particular, and has osteoprotective effects. The aim of this recent research was to quantify the micro- (Mn, Fe, Cu, and Zn) and macroelements (Mg, K, and Ca) in the peel powder of some common fruits (pomegranate, orange, lemon, mango, and grapefruit) by flame atomic absorption spectrometer (FAAS). The extraction of micro- and macroelements in peel powder was done by using dilute acids in an ultrasonic bath. Apple leaves were used as standard reference material (SRM, NIST 1515) to optimize the ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) method at varied operating parameters. Maximum response was obtained for extracting of minerals in 500 mg SRM at 60°C temperature, setting a vortexing time of 5 min while using 5.0 mL extracting agent HNO3 (0.5 M)-H2O2 (10%) at 90% sonication amplitude of ultrasound bath for 6 min. While analyzing the SRM, the percentage recovery was obtained in a range between 96.8 and 102.7% to assure the accuracy whereas repeatability (n = 10) study in terms of % RSD yielding ≤2.29 supports well the precision of the proposed method, and limits of quantitation (μg/g) were 0.034, 0.061, 0.065, 0.057, 0.017, 0.175, and 0.053 for Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, Mg, K, and Ca, respectively. The proposed UAE method was reliable, efficient, and advantageous over the conventionally employed acid digestion method with regard to less consumption of reagents and short analysis time for the determination of micro- and macroelements in fruit peel powder.

Abstract A new sensitive and low-cost method that combines continuous acid extraction, online preconcentration, and flame atomic absorption spectrometry for cadmium determination at g levels in solid and semisolid milk products is described. A continuous ultrasound-assisted extraction system is used to carry out the dynamic acid extraction step. The acid extract is preconcentrated online on a minicolumn packedwith a chelating resin (Chelite P,with aminomethylphosphoric acid groups), and the retained cadmium is elutedwith hydrochloric acid and continuously monitored by flame atomic absorption spectrometry. An experimental design (Plackett-Burman 263/16) is used to optimize the continuous extraction and the preconcentration step. The method allowed a total sampling frequency of 28 samples/h. A good precision of the whole procedure (3.0% relative standard deviation) for a cheese sample containing 0.103 0.004 g/g Cd (dry mass), a high enrichment factor (20.5), and detection and quantification limits of 0.014 and 0.067 g/g, respectively, for a 60 mg of sample were obtained with this methodology. The method was successfully applied to the determination of trace amounts of cadmium in solid and semisolid milk products, such as cheese and yogurt samples.

Abstract An ultrasound method for simultaneous extraction of Cr, Cu, Zn, Cd, and Pb from sediment, and determination by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) and graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GFAAS) was proposed. The experimental results obtained using analytical curves and the method of standard additions agreed at a confidence level of 95% for all the analytes, as determined by FAAS and GFAAS, indicating no significant matrix effects. Recoveries ranged from 80.1 to 93.7% (certified reference material) and from 89 to 107% (spike tests). The LOD and LOQ results from the method were consistent with the techniques used (FAAS and GFAAS), with high analytical throughput. The proposed method was then used to determine Cr, Cu, Zn, Cd, and Pb in river sediment samples from Rio Doce, Minas Gerais, Brazil. The results indicated levels below those permitted by Brazilian legislation for all the analytes, with the exception of Cr.
