Abstract

As part of the study on “Reference Asian Man” project, dried food from different Asian countries, in powdered form, was analyzed applying different techniques. Boron was determined by measuring prompt alphas in 11B(p,α)8Be reaction with 800 keV protons. Coulomb excitation was used for F and Na determination based on 19F(p,p'γ)19F (γ-rays: 110 and 197 keV) and 23Na(p,p'γ)23Na (γ-ray: 440 keV) reactions with 2.3 MeV protons. The elements Sc, Co, Zn, Rb, Ag and Ce were determined by neutron activation analysis. The elements Ca, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Sr and Mo were determined by X-ray fluorescence technique.
