Abstract:

Ion chromatography (IC) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS) both were applied for the determination of bromate in some food samples. Attempts were made to establish calibration curves, however in case of IC, an additional abnormal peak was found to overlap with the bromate peak. This renders IC to be unsuccessful in the determination of bromate compared to ICP-MS technique.  ICP-MS was found to give accurate results; therefore, it was applied for the determination of bromate in different samples of food stuffs.
