The chemical method uses HCl-extractability as the indicator for available minerals. To date, it is the first developed, the simplest and most economical method for studying mineral nutrition. HCl-extractability (HCl-E) refers to the solubility of the mineral in 0.03 N HCl after incubation at 37 °C for 3 h with constant stirring.

2. Proximate. The values of the individual macronutrients in food samples can be determined with the proximate analysis. The proximate composition of foods includes moisture, ash, lipid, protein and carbohydrate contents [].These values are being declared as nutritional facts which are usually being shown on the labels of the end food products, …

Abstract. Proximate analysis is defined by H. Bennett in the Concise Chemical and Technical Dictionary as the "determination of a group of closely related components together, e. g. total protein, fat.". It conventionally includes determinations of the amount of water, protein, fat (ether extract), ash and fiber, with nitrogen-free extract ...

2.2.3. Quantitative Analysis. Quantitative analysis is performed to obtain the contents of clay minerals either in the bulk rock or in the clay fraction. XRD is the most commonly used technique, but IR spectroscopy and major element analysis, combined with qualitative XRD, have also been applied.

Both XRF and XRD are well established analytical techniques in industrial (cement, metals, mining, petrochemicals etc.), applied and research laboratories alongside other techniques such as …

to measure salt content. Other traditional methods of mineral analysis include gravimetric titration (i.e., insoluble forms of minerals are precipitated, rinse, dried, and weighed) and redox reactions (i.e., mineral is part of an oxidation-reduction reaction, and product is quantitated). However, these latter two methods
