Analysis of consumed fish species by neutron activation analysis in six Asian countries

Advances in Troubleshooting Fish and Seafood Authentication by Inorganic Elemental Composition

“…Among these, atomic spectroscopic methods, such as atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) [ 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 ] with flame [ 16 , 19 , 20 ] or electrothermal atomization [ 16 , 17 , 18 ], atomic fluorescence spectrometry (AFS) [ 21 ] inductively coupled optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) [ 16 , 22 ], inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) [ 23 , 24 ], and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) [ 19 , 25 ], have been the most frequently employed. On the contrary, electroanalytical [ 26 ] or neutron-activation-based techniques, such as neutron activation analysis (NAA), have been used to a lesser extent [ 27 , 28 , 29 ].…”
