BS EN 16943:2017 describes a method for the determination of calcium, copper, iron, magnesium,
manganese, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, sulfur and zinc in different foodstuffs using optical
emission spectrometry with inductively coupled plasma (ICP-OES) after pressure digestion.
This method has been validated in an interlaboratory study according to ISO 5725 [1] on infant formula
soya based, cheese, chicken meat, wheat flour, apple juice, lobster and milk (see elements ranges
Table 1 and validation data in Annex B).
HorRat values greater than 2 have been observed for certain analyte/matrix combinations during the
validation study.
Table 1 - Validated element ranges
ElementRange
mg/kg
Calcium70 to 7178
Copper0,60 to 16,40
Iron0,88 to 77
Magnesium45 to 1 174
Manganese0,44 to 5,12
Phosphorus72 to 9 708
Potassium605 to 14 312
Sodium11 to 2 220
Sulfur26 to 8 542
Zinc0,16 to 43,5
At European or International level, vertical standards for the determination of specific minerals can
exist, e.g. for milk and milk products or for animal and vegetable fats and oils [2].
