CN001941: Determination of Chlorate in Agar Samples using Ion Chromatography (IC)
![cn001941 chlorate agar samples](/Image/AppImage/4808/20230425112124/cn001941-chlorate-agar-samples?imageNameOnDisk=2a08569f-69c6-468e-b6ed-fe5f97e593c9-a4d753e7-786b-418d-8ef9-87ce09951490.png)
Description
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) reported chlorate as a risk to human health. In June 2020, the European Commission set chlorate limits for various foods, including the limit for algae (0.05 mg/kg). This work describes a straightforward method to determine chlorate in seaweed-derived agar products. A sample preparation circumvents unwanted gelation, thus avoiding clogging capillaries and columns. Our approach is suitable for analyzing chlorate where the final agar content does not exceed 0.5–1.0%Market: | Food and Beverage |
