          Abstract

          The suitability of various sample preparation procedures, i.e., total decomposition in a HNO3/H2O2 mixture by hot-plate heating, partial decomposition by means of solubilization in aqua regia and dilution with low concentrated HNO3 solution, for determination of the total content of Ba, Ca, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, Ni, P, Pb, Sr and Zn in energy drinks using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP OES) was compared. The criterion was the performance of each method referred to precision, accuracy of results and limits of detection of elements obtained by ICP OES. Best results were provided by the simplest and the fastest dilution of analyzed samples through a diluted HNO3 solution, with limits of detection of elements within 0.08-42.0 ng mL-1, precision of 0.5-3% and accuracy better than 5%. Six commercial energy drinks were analyzed with the proposed procedure.

          Foram comparados vários procedimentos de preparo de amostras, isto é, decomposição total de uma mistura HNO3/H2O2 em placa de aquecimento, decomposição parcial por meio de solubilização em aqua regia e diluição com solução de HNO3 de baixa concentração, para determinação do conteúdo total de Ba, Ca, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, Ni, P, Pb, Sr e Zn em bebidas energéticas utilizando espectrometria de emissão ótica por plasma indutivamente acoplado (ICP OES). O critério foi o desempenho de cada método no que refere precisão, exatidão dos resultados e limites de detecção dos elementos obtidos por ICP OES. Os melhores resultados foram fornecidos pela diluição mais simples e fácil das amostras analisadas através de solução de HNO3 diluída, com limites de detecção dos elementos dentro de 0,08-42,0 ng mL-1, precisão de 0,5-3% e exatidão melhor que 5%. Seis amostras comerciais de bebidas energéticas foram analisadas com o procedimento proposto.
