Aluminum content in jellyfish is high due to adding of aluminum in the processing to improve the products quality.An accurate method to detect aluminum content in jellyfish was studied by comparing of several existing methods such as:EDTA titration method,flame atomic absorption and inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry (ICP-AES).The precision and recovery rates were carried on.Fifteen desalted jellyfish and fifteen salted jellyfish were tested respectively.After wet digestion,three different detection methods were applied.The results showed that there was no significant difference in the final results (P ＞ 0.05).ALL three methods' relative standard deviations were less than 5％.The recovery of desalted jellyfish was 86.10％ and 88.50％ respectively determined by ED-TA titration method and flame atomic absorption.The recoveries of others were all higher.The detection limit was 7.4 mg/L and 3.5 mg/L of EDTA titration method and flame atomic absorption spectrometry.EDTA titration method and flame atomic absorption method can be used for determination of aluminum content in jellyfish by enterprises and inspection agencies.
