Abstract

A rapid and simple inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP OES) method was developed and validated for the determination of macroelements including calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), sodium (Na), and magnesium (Mg) in Australian retail pasteurised milk. The milk samples were digested using the mixture of 70% HNO3 and 30% H2O2 (2 : 1, v/v) in an open-tube digester block at 120 degrees C for 4 h. The validated ICP OES method showed good linearity for all elements (R-2 > 0.9993). The method limits of quantification (LOQ) for Ca, P, K, Na, and Mg were 19.85, 8.97, 100.8, 41.92, and 11.56 mu g<middle dot>g(-1), respectively. Recoveries were in the range of 91.54-116.0%. Repeatability and interday reproducibility expressed as the relative standard deviation (% RSD) was below 5.0%. The contents of macroelements in 6 retail pasteurised milk samples were between 1099.32 and 1348.65 mu g<middle dot>g(-1) (Ca), 914.01 and 1091.21 mu g<middle dot>g(-1) (P), 1362.76 and 1549.74 mu g<middle dot>g(-1) (K), 288.89 and 323.22 mu g<middle dot>g(-1) (Na), and 97.62 and 110.57 mu g<middle dot>g(-1) (Mg). Principal component analysis (PCA) revealed that retail pasteurised milk samples were distinctly separated into four groups on the first two principal components (PCs). The difference in the macroelement content between milk brands might be affected by milk regions.
