A simple analytical method was developed for the determination of total bromine in fruits and grain products by means of wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (WDXRF). Five gram samples of fresh fruits, frozen fruits, dried fruits and grain products were extracted with distilled water twice and diluted to 25 mL with distilled water. The sample solution (0.5 mL) was dripped onto the filter paper, which was dried and analyzed by WDXRF. The working curve was linear in the range of 0 to 10microg/mL. Recoveries at the level of 5microg/g were 76-104%. The detection limit was 0.5microg/g and the determination limit was 1.5microg/g in foods. Compared to the GC-ECD method, this method gave equivalent results for fresh fruits, frozen fruits and grain products. In addition, some dried fruits, in which a slightly high level was detected, gave almost the same results with the GC-ECD method. Therefore, this method is considered to be available as an alternative to the GC-ECD method.
