Energy Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometry of Major Tissues of Silky Fowls

抄録

This report is to survey elements in frozen or freeze-dried samples of major organs of silky fowls with energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer (EDXRF). There was not essential difference between frozen and freeze-dried samples. Of major elements, P, S, K, and Cl were always detected and Mn, Fe, Ca, and Zn were detectable in certain organs. Iodine was detected in thyroid glands. Occasionally Br was detected. The duration of freeze drying, 24 hr or 7 days, did not make significant difference in elemental analysis.
