Abstract

In this study, ICP-OES and ICP-MS analyses were performed using inorganic elements. We quantified 60 inorganic elements and set specific processes, methods, equipment or systems between experiments in ICP-OES and ICP-MS equipment to consistently derive results that meet the criteria. The relative standard deviation (RSD) was mostly less than 8%. The accuracy precision, linearity, limit of quantity detection (LOD) and limit of quantity (LOQ) of the experimental method were evaluated. The limit of detection (LOD) of ICP-OES was in the range of 0.024–1.505 mg/kg, and the limit of quantification (LOQ) was 0.081–4.967 mg/kg. The limit of detection (LOD) of ICP-MS was 0.001–1.425 µg/kg, and the limit of quantification (LOQ) was 0.003–4.703 µg/kg. In addition, monitoring of 64 domestic and 51 imported dried red pepper using 60 elements was conducted for the first time.
