Abstract
The wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence (WD-XRF) method for phosphorus determination in meat samples has been described. The effects of sample pretreatment on the XRF analysis have been discussed. The phosphorus content determined in meat samples ranged from 603 ± 6 to 613 ± 19 mg P/100g dry mass (d.m.), depending on the sample preparation technique. The meat samples spiked with phosphates have been used for the calibration procedure. The accuracy was determined against a number of certified reference materials (SMRD 2000, RF 8414, NIST-1568A, and NIST-1549), and recovery was assayed using the standard addition procedure. The proposed method has been compared with the standard spectrophotometric method (PN-ISO 13730, 1999) of total phosphorus determination. The sample pretreatment procedure has been reduced to minimum the presented results suggest the WD-XRF method can be an alternative to the spectrophotometric analysis.
