To measure the mineral contents in restructured black goat jerky with added USP,
0.3 g of jerky was weighed in a vessel, and 7 mL of HNO3 and 2 mL of
H2O2 solutions were added. Subsequently, the samples
were pretreated for 10 min in a microwave (Titan MPS Microwave, Perkin Elmer,
Waltham, MA, USA) to achieve separation. Once separated, 0.5 g of the sample was
diluted 100-fold in triple distilled water to adjust the final weight to 50 g.
Another 0.2 g of pretreated sample was diluted 100-fold in triple distilled
water to make up the final weight to 20 g at a final concentration of 100 ppm.
These solutions were used in the experiment. The mineral contents of the samples
were determined by measuring ion beam intensity with an inductively coupled
plasma mass spectrometer (NEXION-350X, Perkin-Elmer, Shelton, CT, USA).
