Analytical methods - Mn

Manganese concentration depends on food; therefore, accurate determination requires a sensitive analytical method and freedom from contamination. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) EuroFIR Method Indicators MI1209 are the reliable methods preceded by wet digestion MI1018  or pressure digestion.

 

Method features are described in  ISO 11885:2007 Water quality -- Determination of selected elements by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES), ISO 17294:2004:  Water quality -- Application of inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) -- Part 2: Determination of 62 elements,

Other methods are available: AOAC (AOAC 984.27) and CODEX. Southgate and Greenfield Book
