| Abstract |
Feasibility of a simple laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) instrument has been investigated for analysis of Mg and Ca in edible salts. The LIBS instrument was assembled with a compact low-power diode-pumped solid-state laser and a non-gated handheld spectrometer. A simple sampling process, called a dip-and-dry method, was employed for on-site application; a piece of filter paper was dipped in aqueous solution of the sample salt and dried to be analyzed by LIBS. The analytical performance could be significantly improved by (i) optimization of the sample surface height during laser ablation and (ii) normalization of the analyte line intensities using the Na I line at 616 nm as a reference signal. For commercially available salt products, the Mg II and Ca I line intensities could be well correlated with the concentrations of Mg and Ca determined by inductively coupled plasma- optical emission spectroscopy. Our results indicate that the combination of a compact low-cost LIBS device and the simple sampling method is promising as an on-site salt quality monitoring methodology. |
