Abstract
This study was carried out to determine the mineral substances and heavy metal contents of fresh and ripened kashar cheeses consumed in Erzurum province, Turkey. A total 50 samples (37 fresh and 13 ripened kashar samples) were obtained randomly from retail outlets. Mineral substances and heavy metals contamination levels were detected with inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). The average levels of the mineral substances and heavy metals in the kashar cheeses were determined as; calcium 2265.57±614.14 mg/kg, potassium 1555.46±552.31 mg/kg, sodium 4693.31±1886.12 mg/kg, magnesium 129.34±32.05 mg/kg, iron 1.65±0.80 mg/kg, zinc 15.66±3.41 mg/kg, copper 0.39±0.35 mg/kg, manganese 0.15±0.09 mg/kg, nickel 0.27±0.24 mg/ kg, lead 1.77±1.72 mg/kg and arsenic 0.0001±0.001 mg/kg. It was not determined any statistical differences in mineral substances and heavy metal levels between fresh and ripened kashar cheese samples.
Özet
Araştırma, Erzurum’da tüketime sunulan taze ve olgunlaşmış kaşar peynirlerinde mineral madde ve ağır metal içeriklerinin belirlenmesi amacıyla yapıldı. Perakende satış yerlerinden toplanan 50 adet (37 taze ve 13 adet olgunlaşmış kaşar peyniri numunesi) peynir numunesinde mineral madde ve ağır metal kontaminasyon düzeyleri indüktif eşleşmiş plazma optik emisyon spektroskopisi (ICP-OES) ile belirlendi. Peynir örneklerindeki ortalama mineral madde ve ağır metal içerikleri; kalsiyum 2265.57±614.14 mg/kg, potasyum 1555.46±552.31 mg/kg, sodyum 4693.31±1886.12 mg/kg, magnezyum 129.34±32.05 mg/kg, demir 1.65±0.80 mg/kg, çinko 15.66±3.41 mg/kg, bakır 0.39±0.35 mg/kg, mangan 0.15±0.09 mg/kg, nikel 0.27±0.24 mg/kg, kurşun 1.77±1.72 mg/kg ve arsenik 0.0001±0.001 mg/kg olarak tespit edildi. Taze ve olgunlaşmış kaşar peynirlerinin mineral madde ve ağır metal içerikleri arasında önemli fark (P>0.05) saptanmadı.
