Foreword
This Standard replaced the determination of magnesium in the following standards
such as GB/T 5009.90-2003 Determination of iron, Magnesium and Manganese in
Foods, GB/T 9695.21-2008 Meat and Meat Products - Determination of Magnesium,
GB 5413.21-2010 National Food Safety Standard – Determination of Calcium, Iron,
Zinc, Sodium, Potassium, Magnesium, Copper and Manganese in Foods for Infants
and Young Children, Milk and Milk Products, GB/T 23375-2009 Determination of
Copper, Iron, Zinc, Calcium, Magnesium and Phosphorus Content in Vegetables and
Derived Products, GB/T 14609-2008 Inspection of Grain and Oils - Determination of
Copper, Iron, Manganese, Zinc, Calcium, Magnesium In Cereals and Derived Products
by Atomic Absorption and Flame Spectrophotometry, GB/T 18932.12-2002 Method for
the Determination of Potassium, Sodium, Calcium, Magnesium, Zine, Iron, Copper,
Manganese, Chromium, Lead, Cadmium Contents in Honey - Atomic Absorption
Spectrometry, NY 82.19-1988 Determination of Calcium and Magnesium in Fruit Juice.
Compared with GB/T 5009.90-2003, this Standard has the major changes as follows.
--- Modify the standard name into "National Food Safety Standard – Determination
of Magnesium in Food";
--- Adjust the sample pre-treatment into wet digestion, microwave digestion, dry
ashing and pressure tank digestion;
--- Retain the flame atomic absorption spectrometry, and delete titration for sample
determination;
--- Add inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry as Method 2;
--- Add inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry as Method 3.
National Food Safety Standard -
Determination of Magnesium in Food
1 Scope
This Standard specifies use flame atomic absorption spectrometry, inductively coupled
plasma emission spectrometry, and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry to
determine the magnesium in food.
This Standard is applicable to the determination of magnesium in various foods.
Method 1 -- Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometry
2 Principle
After digestion, the sample was flame atomized, then measure the absorbance at
285.2nm.
3 Reagents and Materials
Unless otherwise is specified, the reagents used in this method shall be guarantee
reagent; while water used in this method shall be Class-II water stipulated in GB/T
6682.
3.1 Reagents
3.2 Reagents preparation
3.2.1 Nitric acid solution (5+95). take 50mL of nitric acid; pour into 950mL of water;
mix evenly.
3.2.2 Nitric acid solution (1+1). take 250mL of nitric acid; pour into 250mL of water;
mix evenly.
3.3 Standard substance
Magnesium metal (Mg, CAS No.. 7439-95-4) or magnesia (MgO, CAS No.. 1309-48-
4). purity >99.99%. The standard magnesium solution with certain concentration that
has been certified by the state and issued standard substance certificate.
3.4 Preparation of standard solution
3.4.1 Standard magnesium stock solution (1000g/L). accurately take 0.1g (accurate
to 0.0001g) of magnesium metal or 0.1658g (accurate to 0.0001g) of magnesia
calcined to constant weight at 800°C±50°C;
3.4.2 Standard magnesium intermediate solution (10.0mg/L). accurately pipette
1.00mL of standard magnesium stock solution (1000mg/L); use nitric acid solution
(5+95) to make constant volume into the 100mL volumetric flask; then mix evenly.
4 Apparatus
NOTE. all glassware and Teflon digestion inner tank must be soaked in nitric acid solution (1+5)
overnight; use tap water to wash repeatedly; finally rinsed with water.
4.1 Atomic absorption spectrometer. equipped with flame atomizer; magnesium
hollow cathode lamp.
4.5 Microwave digestion system. equipped with Teflon digestion inner tank.
4.6 Thermostat drying oven.
4.7 Pressure digestion tank. equipped with Teflon digestion inner tank.
4.8 Muffle furnace.
5 Analytical Procedures
5.1 Specimen preparation
NOTE. During the sampling and preparing processes, avoid the specimen contamination.
5.1.1 Grain and bean samples
After removing the foreign matters, the sample shall be stored in the plastic bottles.
5.2 Specimen digestion
5.2.1 Wet digestion
Take 0.2g~3g (accurate to 0.001g) of solid specimen or accurately transfer
0.500mL~5.00mL of liquid specimen into the graduated digestion tube; add 10mL of
nitric acid, 0.5mL of perchloric acid; then digest on the adjustable electric hot furnace
(reference conditions.
5.2.2 Microwave digestion
Take 0.2g~0.8g (accurate to 0.001g) of solid specimen or accurately transfer
0.500mL~3.00mL of liquid specimen into the microwave digestion tank; add 5mL of
nitric acid; then digest the specimen as per the microwave digestion operation steps;
5.2.4 Dry ashing
Take 0.5g~5g (accurate to 0.001g) of solid specimen or accurately pipette
0.500mL~10.0mL of liquid specimen into the crucible; slowly heat the crucible onto the
electric hot plate; carbonize with slight fire to no longer smoke. After carbonizing, place
the specimen into the muffle furnace; ashing for 4h at 550°C.
5.3 Determination
5.3.1 Instrument reference conditions
According to the performance of their instruments adjusted to the best condition,
reference conditions.
6 Expression of Analytical Results
The magnesium content in the specimen shall be calculated by the Formula (1).
7 Precision
