Stripping voltamperometric determination of heavy metals in honey samples

Abstract

The content of zinc, cadmium, lead, and copper in honey varieties was determined by the method of stripping voltammetry. Samples preparing was made by three different methods: dry and hydro ashing, as well by hydro mineralization and dry ashing. It was found that all methods of samples preparing can be used for destroying honey matrix, but the combined method of samples preparing is the most efficient one for ions of heavy metals extracting and provides accuracy of the definition. Method of stripping voltammetry can be used in practice of quantitative determination of heavy metals in honey samples.
