Abstract:

A flame atomic absorption spectrometric (FAAS) method was developed for the simultaneous determination of 15 trace elements in cuttlebone. This method exhibited spike recoveries for 15 trace elements ranging from 96.5% to 108.7%, with RSDs of less than 2.8% and good accuracy and precision. A higher content of trace elements essential to the human body including Zn, Fe, Mn and Cu was detected in cuttlebone. Additionally, Pb, As and Cd were also detected.

Key words: cuttlebone, flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS), trace elements
