Some of metal ions are the most dangerous pollutants due to their acute toxicity and carcionogenetiy. Exposure to high concentrations of these metal ions causes lung, nasal and throat cancers. Therefore, interest and demand is increasing for metal determination in biological and environmental samples [1]. Metal ions were generally determined with atomic absortion spectrophotometry or inductivel...

A procedure that is simple and convenient for general use for the estimation of calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus in diet and stool is described. It includes a HNO3-HCIO4 digestion in a micro-Kjeldahl flask. Calcium subsequently may be estimated by atomic absorption spectrophotometry or by the Clark-Collip procedure, magnesium by atomic absorption spectrophotometry, and phosphorus by the metho...

Amygdalin is a cyanogenic glucoside found in apricot kernels. To facilitate the exploitation and use of wild apricot resources, it is necessary to be able to rapidly and efficiently determine the amygdalin levels within their kernels. To do so, this paper compares two methods, one based on second-derivative UV spectrophotometry and the other on highperformance reversed-phase liquid chromatograp...
