Determining of Fluoride Content in Tea by Spectrophotometery and potentiometry
Journal Title: Journal of Experimental Biology and Agricultural Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 0
Abstract
Tea contains a high amount of fluoride and its consumption may affect the whole intake of fluoride. Excessive intake of fluoride over the long term may lead to the development of dental or skeletal fluorosis. In this study, fluoride content of 30 tea samples was determined using potentiometry and spectrophotometery. Results of study revealed that in determination of fluoride content potentiometric method is more precise than spectrophotometry. Further, results of study did not show any significant difference in the fluoride content of black and green tea, but the difference between the fluoride content of black tea bags with black and green tea is significant.
