was 19.4 mg/kg, 12.3 mg/kg, 11.9 mg/kg, and the Zn content was 17.6 mg/kg, 36.5
mg/kg, 11.9 mg/kg in black pepper, cumin, and red pepper, respectively. The
highest Fe, Cu and Zn content were found in black pepper and the lowest Fe, Cu
and Zn content in red pepper. The results showed that the Cu and Zn content
determined in black pepper, cumin, and red pepper was below the WHO standards
and the Fe content determined in black pepper and cumin was found to exceed the
WHO standards. Therefore, continuous heavy metal analysis in terms of Fe,
especially in black pepper and cumin, is essential for human health. </span> <span style="font-family:Garamond, serif;letter-spacing:-.15pt;"> </span> </p> <p> </p>}, number={5}, publisher={Gıda Teknolojisi Derneği}
