Development of Analytical Methods for Trace Elements and Elemental Species in Foods
Description
Develop robust multi-element methods and quality control materials
(focusing on Mn, Zn, Fe, Cu, Mg, Ca, and P) using ICP-AES and ICP-MS;
2) Develop methods and quality control materials for ultratrace
elements important to human health (focusing on Co, Cr, Ni and V) using
ICP-AES, ICP-MS and GFAAS; 3) Develop elemental speciation analysis
methods combining microseparation techniques with element specific
detection. Focus on Vitamin B12 species (cobalamins: hydroxo-, methyl-,
cyano- and 5'deoxyadenosyl-) using CE-ICP-MS and CEC-ICP-MS; 4) Develop
analytical methods for the determination of total Fe, hemeprotein, and
heme Fe in meats.
