Minerals and trace minerals

The most common minerals within food and feed products are sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus and chloride. In addition to these minerals, there are also a number of minerals, also called trace minerals, which occur in a lower concentration.

Analysis

For the analysis of elements, NutriControl uses the advanced analysis systems ICP-OES and ICP-MS (inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry) so that most elements of the periodic system can be analyzed with very low detection levels. NutriControl frequently analyzes the elements calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), sodium (Na), potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn) and manganese (Mn).
