Development and Validation of an ICP-AES Method for the Determination of Toxic and Nutrient Metals in Candies: Application for the Analysis of Different Samples from the Greek Market

In this study, we present the development and validation of an inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometric (ICP-AES) method for the determination of Ag, Ba, Bi, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn in different candies. Various wet digestion protocols were examined in order to...
