The estimated LOQ values for each matrix were lower than 1 mg/kg. These results must be validated
by analyzing a sample with this concentration and determining repeatability from 10 replicate test
portions. As it was impossible to obtain samples with such low sulfite concentration, the limit of
quantification was first validated with samples of approximately 5 mg/kg for both raw and boiled shrimp.
value obtained for boiled shrimp is acceptable, but not so for raw
As can be seen in Table 5, the RSD r
shrimp. This experiment was repeated with a sample of higher concentration, this time yielding a RSD r
value of less than 10%, thereby validating the LOQ of 7 mg/kg for this matrix.
