[Determination of trace elements in scallop]

The contents of eight trace elements Zn, Co, Fe, Mn, Mg, Ca, Cu and K in scallop were determined by ICP-AES and AAS using nitrifying method of high pressure nitrifying pot. The comparison between the results of two analysis methods was made, which proved no obviously differenct. The recoveries were 93.3%-102.8%, and the relative standard deviations were less than 1.60%. The experiment proved that scallop contains rich and useful trace elements, not only tastesgood and fresh, but also is essential supplemental elements that human body can not synthesize by itself.
