The method is based on sample dissolution assisted by ultrasound energy in tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH) media and determination by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS). Central composite design (CCD) associated with response surface methodology and desirability function allowed the fast and efficient optimization of the variables involved in the performance of the dissolution. The developed dissolution method allowed Ca, Fe, Zn, and Mg determination in milk samples with adequate analytical characteristics for these determinations. Addition/recovery tests and analysis of a certified reference material of skimmed powdered milk (ERM-BD150) have shown that this method presents enough accuracy to carry out these analyses.Shellfishes contain plasmalogens correlating to the functions of brain, heart, etc. Herein, a mild acid hydrolysis and hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) tandem mass spectrometry method was developed for analyzing plasmalogens in six shellfish species. A total of 19 plasmalogen molecular species were successfully identified, including nine phosphatidylcholine plasmalogen (plasPC), seven phosphatidylethanolamine plasmalogen (plasPE), and three phosphatidylserine plasmalogen (plasPS). The quantitative results indicated that mussel (32 μg·mg-1) possessed the highest content of plasmalogens, followed by oyster (21 μg·mg-1) and razor clam (15 μg·mg-1). The statistic models showed that the plasPE P-180/205 (m/z 748), plasPE P-160/222 & P-180/202 (m/z 754) and plasPS were the most contributing difference between shellfishes. The results indicated that this method was sensitive and precise to determine plasmalogens in shellfish, and mu
