Techniques that are most commonly used for determining tin are UV/VIS spectrophotometry (Huang et al. 1997), X-Ray fluorescence spectrometry (Mino 2006), inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (Perring & Basic-Dvorzak 2002)and electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (Chiba 1987). In this work, we describe determination
of tin by flame atomic absorption spectrometry in various kinds of canned foods.
