National food safety standard –
Determination of multi-elements in foods
1 Scope
This standard specifies inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-
MS) and inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) for the
determination of multi-element in foods.
The method I is applicable to the determination of boron, sodium, magnesium,
aluminum, potassium, calcium, titanium, vanadium, chromium, manganese,
iron, cobalt, nickel, copper, zinc, arsenic, selenium, molybdenum, cadmium, tin,
antimony, mercury, thallium, and lead in foods; the method II is applicable to the
determination of aluminum, boron, barium, calcium, copper, iron, potassium,
magnesium, manganese, sodium, nickel, phosphorus, strontium, titanium,
vanadium, and zinc in foods.
Method I. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS)
2 Principle
The sample is digested and determined by inductively coupled plasma mass
spectrometry. It is subject to qualitative determination by the specific mass
number of element (mass/charge ratio, m/z). The quantitative analysis is
performed by the use of external standard method and by that the ratio between
the strength ratio of the mass spectrometry signal of the tested element to the
internal standard element mass spectrometry signal and the concentration of
the element to be determined.

5 Analytical procedures
5.1 Specimen preparation
5.1.1 Solid sample
5.1.1.1 Dry sample
For the samples of low moisture content such as beans, cereals, fungi, tea,
dried fruits, baked goods, etc., TAKE the edible parts, if necessary, USE high-
speed crusher to crush it evenly; for the uniform powder sample such as solid
dairy products, protein powder, flour, etc., SHAKE it uniformly.
5.1.1.2 Fresh sample
For the samples of high moisture content such as vegetables, fruits, and aquatic
products, it shall be washed clean when necessary, dried naturally, and the
edible parts shall be homogenized uniformly; for such samples as meat, eggs,
etc., the edible parts shall be homogenized uniformly.
5.1.1.3 Frozen and canned food
the digestion tank on the temperature control electric hot plate or in the
ultrasonic bath, HEAT it at 100 °C for 30 min or PERFORM ultrasonic degassing
for 2 min ~ 5 min, USE water to make the volume reach to 25 mL or 50 mL, MIX
it uniformly to prepare for use, meanwhile PERFORM blank test.
5.3 Instrument reference conditions
5.3.1 Instrument operating conditions. Instrument operating conditions are
shown in Table B.2; elemental analysis modes are shown in Table B.3.
Note. For instruments that do not have a suitable interference elimination mode,
the interference correction equation shall be used to correct the measurement
results. The interference correction equations for lead, cadmium, arsenic,
molybdenum, selenium, vanadium, and other elements are given in Table B.4.
5.3.2 Determination reference conditions. After tuning the instrument to meet
the measurement requirements, EDIT the measurement method and SELECT
the appropriate internal standard element based on the nature of the element
to be measured. SEE Table B.5 for m/z of the test element and the internal
standard element.
5.4 Production of standard curves
INJECT the mixed standard solution into an inductively coupled plasma mass
spectrometer, to measure the signal response values of the test element and
the internal standard element. USE the concentration of the test element as the
abscissa and the ratio of the response signal value of the test element to the
selected internal standard element as the ordinate, to draw a standard curve.
5.5 Determination of specimen solution
Respectively INJECT the blank solution and the specimen solution into an
inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer, to measure the signal response
values of the test element and the internal standard element, and to obtain the
concentration of the test element in the digestion solution in accordance with
the standard curve.
6 Expression of analysis results
6.1 Calculation of low-content test elements
The content of the low-content test element in the specimen is calculated in
accordance with the formula (1).
12.2.1 Microwave digestion method
Same as 5.2.1.
12.2.2 Pressure tank digestion method
Same as 5.2.2.
12.2.3 Wet digestion method

2.00 mL ~ 10.0 mL of specimen in glass or PTFE digestion vessel; for the
sample containing ethanol or carbon dioxide, first HEAT it on a hot plate at low
temperature to remove ethanol or carbon dioxide, ADD 10 mL of nitric acid-
perchloric acid (10 + 1) mixed solution, MAKE it subject to digestion on an
electric hot plate or graphite digestion device, if the digestion solution becomes
brown and black in the digestion process, it may add a small amount of mixed
