An ashing is an analytic procedure in which a sample is heated in a furnace to leave a residue of ash.
Though it is hard to tell, ASHING could be part of the whole name George wASHINGton.

Wet ashing involves heating a sample with a nitric acid solution to decompose organic material into ash. Dry ashing involves heating a sample in a furnace to completely combust organic material to ash without the use of acid. Both methods are used for preparing samples for further analysis, such as inorganic elemental analysis.
Elements that are likely to be lost by dry ashing include volatile elements such as mercury, arsenic, and selenium. These elements can evaporate or sublime at the high temperatures used during dry ashing, leading to their loss from the sample.

An ashing furnace is specifically designed for high-temperature applications to burn off organic material and leave only ash residue. A muffle furnace is used for general heat treatment processes where the sample is heated in a chamber, known as a muffle, to protect it from direct contact with the heating elements.
The scope is to eliminate water, volatile compounds, substances easily thermodegradable before the calcining in a muffle furnace.
in proximate analysis of food, you determine for moisture content in the food, you determine for ashing, you determine for protein, crude fiber and so on
The procedure for ash content determination in food samples begins with the selection of a sample that is believed to be representative of the entire portion. Then, the food is vaporized by dry ashing causing all minerals and water to be burned off.
