Abstract

© 2018 Elsevier B.V. Water-in-oil-in-water (W1/O/W2) double emulsions are complex liquid dispersions employed to entrap, protect and control the release of different substances such as minerals in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food. The present paper proposes a simple and fast analytical procedure for silicon determination in double emulsion samples formulated for the supplementation of silicon in different food products. Silicon determination was performed by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) at the main analytical line (251.611 nm) using a high-resolution continuum source instrument. The introduction of the sample in the spectrometer in a continuous or discontinuous mode and the influence of double emulsion matrix on silicon absorbance signals were investigated. At the optimized conditions, the double emulsion samples were analysed using silicon standards in ultrapure water for calibration. The limits of detection (LODs) were 0.04 and 0.11 mg L−1and the upper limits of silicon linear working ranges were up to 23 and 70 mg L−1for continuous and discontinuous sample introduction modes, respectively. Silicon spiked double emulsion samples were analysed for validation purposes. The good recoveries (within 95–105%) demonstrated the suitability of the proposed method.
