A small mineral fraction substantially determines the nutrition value and quality of milk. The X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF) is an expanding method in the field of elemental analysis of milk. Different configurations of XRF spectrometers are commercially available, and they are known as providing cheap and fast analyses of minerals and some trace elements with the accuracy and reproducibility required for food products. This research review particularly concerns the XRF instrumentation, sample preparation, calibration and quantification procedures. The practical examples of using XRF techniques for determination of minerals and trace elements in milk samples are also demonstrated.

一小部分矿物质成分基本上决定了牛奶的营养价值和质量。X射线荧光光谱法（XRF）是牛奶元素分析领域中的一种扩展方法。XRF光谱仪的不同配置可商购获得，众所周知，它们提供了廉价，快速的矿物和某些微量元素分析，具有食品所需的准确性和可重复性。这项研究综述特别涉及XRF仪器，样品制备，校准和定量程序。还演示了使用XRF技术测定牛奶样品中矿物质和微量元素的实际例子。
