Table 1: Analytical parameters of methods used to determine Zn, Ca, Mg, and P in goat milk products.
a Detection limit units are expressed as ng/mL.
b Characteristic mass: in nanograms for Ca, Mg and P and in picograms for Zn, corresponding to 0.0044 milli-absorbance units.
c Mean recovery obtained by analyte recovery assays in four fractions of the analyte in the same sample.
d Mean relative standard deviation obtained by repeated measurements (n= 7) in four goat fermented milks (inter-day variability).
