For this intention, the digestion procedure based on closed vessel-assisted microwave oven (MW) was determined a rapid, reliable, and simple digestion method for the flame atomic absorption spectrophotometric (FAAS) analysis of herbal plant. Various periods for different powers and acid mixture of the MW were examined. The obtained data show that the MW is an excellent method because it is fast and results in fewer losses and contaminants. The metal concentrations were of Fe>Cu>Zn for herbal seed, respectively.}, number={2}, publisher={Kirklareli University}
