A REVIEW ON COMPOSITION AND ANALYTICAL TECHNIQUES FOR THE ESTIMATION OF EDIBLE SALTS
Rayeesa Seema, Divya. M. Sridhar K., Sridevi P.* and Bhagavan Raju M.
ABSTRACT
Salt is an essential dietary mineral for maintaining life. Edible salt was sold in forms such as sea salt and table salt, which latter usually contained an anti-caking agent and may be iodized to prevent iodine deficiency. After extensive literature, we learned that essential elements deficiency and toxicity cause several diseases in the human body. Different analytical instruments used to detect various essential element concentrations present in food and its supplements. Essential elements like Na, K, Ca, Cl, Mg, Si, S, Fe, Al, Mn, Zn, Co, etc were detected through analytical instruments like Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS), Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP), Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS), Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES), Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS), X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) in the laboratory to perform elemental analysis on an unknown substance. Keywords: Rock salt, Sea salts, Trace minerals, Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy [AAS], Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy [LIBS]. [Download Article] [Download Certifiate] |
