The International Commission for Uniform Methods
of Sugar Analysis (ICUMSA), an international organization
interested in the improvement of analytical
methods related to the sugar industry, is seeking to
establish some methods for As, Cu, Fe, and Pb determinations
in white sugar. FAAS, a well-known method
in trace metal determination, is a potential candidate
for such studies. That is why flame and hydride
generation AAS have been chosen as the analyzing
techniques in the present study.
