analysis in herbaceous materials [14] and elemental analysis of plant
materials such as Cannabis plant material [15] and Ocimum L. species
[16].
The study is focused on development of a new method for ash analysis
in wheat flour by using LIBS. The aim was to develop a relatively
rapid, practical and economical method compared to the conventional
ones. For this purpose, wheat flours with different ash contents were
analyzed with LIBS, and the spectra were evaluated using chemometric
methods. The results of LIBS were comparedwith the results of basic ash
method, and mineral matter composition of wheat flour was investigated
with AAS method.
