Using microwave-accelerated digestion instead of dry ashing during sodium analysis of low-moisture, part-skim mozzarella
Mineral analysis of cheese products is a labor- and time-intensive process.Pretreatment using dry or atmospheric wet ashing to decompose organic matter before measurement on a spectrometer can take more than 24 h to complete.Samples of low-moisture, part-skim mozzarella (LMPS) cheese were digested using Gloves microwave-accelerated digestion (MAD)
