ABSTRACT
A single strand hollow fiber membrane (SSHFM) was developed for the on-line sample preparation for the flow based colorimetric determination of free iron levels in fruit juices. The SSHFM, as used, could separate Fe(2+) from some spectrophotometric interfering agents in the fruit juice, such as pigments, solid suspensions and polysaccharides. The screening process was likely to have been primarily based on dialysis, wherein only ions or molecules that are smaller than the pores of the membrane can diffuse through while relatively larger molecules or particles could not. Two flow modes, a continuous and stopped flow, were studied. Factors that influenced the sensitivity (%dialysis) of the method, such as the flow rate, sample volume, flow direction and stopped flow time, were optimized. The stopped flow mode was found to be relatively more sensitive than the continuous flow mode and displayed a linear range of 1-30 mg L(-1) Fe(2+), a limit of detection of 0.5 mg L(-1), and a % relative standard deviation of less than 2% (n=8) for the analysis of 10 mg L(-1) Fe(2+) spiked grape juice samples. A sample throughput of 24 samples h(-1), was attained without any further sample treatment.
