This application note describes an optimized analytical method for the analysis
of vegetable oil samples using the iCAP PRO Series ICP-OES equipped with a
ceramic D-torch.
A thorough validation of the method was performed that included analysis of
quality control standards, accuracy and precision of measurements, as well as
analysis of real vegetable samples as required in analytical testing laboratories.
Twenty-two elements in vegetable oil samples were analyzed following simple
dilution with xylene. Both toxic and nutritional elements were analyzed. High
sensitivity, accuracy, and robust analysis were demonstrated.
