Abstract:
A method is described for the absolute quantification of double-quantum filtered spectra of spin-3/2 nuclei ((23)Na). The method was tested on a model system, a cationic exchange resin for which the number of Na(+) binding sites was quantitatively controlled. The theoretical and experimental approaches were validated on samples with different Na(+) concentrations. An excellent agreement between the results obtained by double-quantum and single-quantum acquisitions was found. This method paves the way for absolute quantification of both bound and free fractions of Na(+), which are determining factors in the characterization of salted/brined/dried food products.
