Elemental Trace Analysis in Studies of Food Products

  • Chapter
Handbook of Trace Analysis

Abstract

Mineral elements play a key role in the human body and especially in the regulation of cell metabolism. They are either incorporated into the tissues or else are present in body liquids in ionic form. They also participate in metabolic processes such as electrolyte and hormone economy, haematopoiesis, and development of the nervous and skeletal systems [1, 2].
