Viandes et produits à base de viande — Détermination de la teneur en phosphore

This document specifies three methods for the determination of the total phosphorous content of all kinds of meat and meat products, including poultry and livestock:

• the inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) method;
• the spectrometric method;
• the gravimetric method.

For the ICP-OES method, the limit of detection (LOD) is 1,0 mg/kg and the limit of quantification (LOQ) is 3,0 mg/kg if the mass of the test portion is 0,5 g and the constant volume is 50 ml.
