Direct demonstration of the presence of zinc in the acetone-extractable red pigment from Parma ham [PDF]
We studied the presence of zinc in the red pigment extracted from Parma ham by scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis. The large peak of about 8.6keV and the small peaks at about 1.1keV and 9.5keV were derived from K(α), L(α1) and K(β) X-ray of zinc, respectively.
