Analysis of Mineral in Korean Apple Juice by Inductively Coupled Plasma

Inductively Coupled Plasma를 이용한 사과주스중의 무기성분 분석

The mineral contents were analyzed for apple juices by Inductively Coupled Plasma. The Mg contents of tested commercial apple juices ranged 6.27∼32.91ppm, Ca 15,95∼3.11.76ppm K231∼1148.02ppm Na 39.82∼115.68ppm and P 19.27∼304.02ppm. The mineal contents of model apple juice were Mg 29.83∼45.65ppm Ca 16.98∼30.98ppm K 814.28∼1,256.70ppm Na 19.88∼26.85ppm and P 25.88∼54.71ppm. respectively. Comparing mineral contents of model apple juices and commercial apple juice, Na, Ca and P contents of commercial apple juices were higher but Mg, K contents were lower than that of model apple juices. Among the mineral content of apple juices. K was the major element.
