Abstract A rapid, direct flow injection slurry atomization flame atomic absorption spectrometric procedure for Ca, Mg, Na and K determination is shown to give reproducible and accurate results for a variety of tropical fruits. The optimized conditions obtained for instrumental, slurry formation and manner of calibration graphs preparation are detailed. Ground fruit is simply suspended by being shaken in a Triton X-100 solution. Statistical evaluation of results from certified and non-certified materials indicate that the flow injection slurry method is both accurate and comparable in precision to a traditional wet acidic sample digestion procedure.
