A fast and simple differential pulse polarographic (DPP) method for the determination of trace elements in a certain form of cabbage is described. This vegetable is commonly used as food in Turkey, especially in the Black Sea region. Using DPP polarograms of wet digested cabbage samples (leaf) in pH 2 and 4 acetate buffer Mo, Cr, Se, Pb, As and Zn quantities were determined. The best separation and determination condition for Cu and Fe was in EDTA at pH 6.5, and for Ni and Zn it was ammonia buffer at pH 9.8. The trace element quantities in digested leaf samples …

Digestion of biological materials is very important for trace element determinations. Although the microwave technique is mostly used, there are cases where open wet digestion is needed. This study examined the optimum conditions for the minimum loss of trace elements during the wet digestion of a sample. The effect of acid composition and digestion time for about 21 ions was investigated. The trace element concentrations were determined by differential pulse polarography. For the digestion procedure, a HClO_4-HNO_3 mixture was used for the first step and, after its evaporation (60 min), HCl was added as the second step, since in some …
