Abstract:
In this work, a fast and simple analytical method has been developed for the multi elemental analysis of different vegetal foodstuff samples, by using a combination of two low power benchtop total reflection X-ray fluorescence (TXRF) systems. The suspension of the powdered samples in deionized water showed to be the most suitable way for the preparation and analysis of this kind of samples. However, for comparison purposes the samples were also acid digested and measured by TXRF.
