Abstract

In this study, macro elements (Na, Mg, Ca and K)
and trace elements (Li, Fe, Zn, Mn, Se, Al, V, Cr, Ni, Cu, Pb, As, Co, Cd and
Hg) in wild edible plant samples (Campanula
sp, Anethum graveolens, Malva sylvestris, Onopordum tauricum, Cichorium
endivia, Rumex patientia, Urtica diocia, Papaver rhaeas, Opopanax hispidus,
Rumex acetosella, Eradium sp, Petroselinum crispum, Metha viridis, Eruca
sativa, Sinapis arvensis, Lepidium sativum and Cardaria draba) grown in Mt.
Yuntdağ and purchased from three different markets in Manisa district were
analyzed using inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometer after microwave
digestion procedure. Selected plants for analysis are mostly consumed by people
throughout the season. The mean concentrations of Na, Mg, Ca, K, Li, Fe, Zn,
Mn, Se, Al, V, Cr, Ni, Cu, Pb, As, Co and Cd were determined as 201 to 15896,
1597 to 4783, 3676 to 13290, >20000, 0.27 to 4.37, 144 to 666, 18.0 to 52.0,
21.2 to 86.5, 0.08 to 0.25, 111 to 693, 2.18 to 5.67, 2.62 to 13.4, 1.32 to
6.30, 6.40 to 38.7, 0.12 to 0.78, 1.07 to 3.25, 0.05 to 0.47, 0.08 to 0.50 (µg
g^-1,dry weight), respectively. Hg values for plant samples were well
below the detection limit of the method.
