The measurementsare based on the combined use of asymmetric flow field flow fractionation withinductively coupled plasma mass spectrometryand ultra violet multi-angle light scattering.
They enable thedetection and characterization of inorganic nanomaterials with between 1-100 nanometers in size, added to complex samples, including food. The research forms the first systematic comparison and optimisation of extraction methods for silicon dioxide nanoparticles in food. In conjunction with this,
