- Abstract
In this research, 50 samples of kashar cheese produced and sold inTrakya (Thrace) region, we re studied for analysis of heavy metals as Lead (Pb), tin(Sn), copper (Cu) and mercury (Hg). Heavy metal contents of samples were determined by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS) after having been burned in a microwave oven. As a result of this study, average heavy metal contents of 50 samples found as; lead (Pb):0.0600 ppm, tin (Sn): 0.0366 ppm, copper (Cu): 0.5036 ppm, mercury (Hg): 0.0214 ppm. The obtained results showthat mean concentrarions of copperandtin in samples a re below average levels whereas some results in lead and mercury are above the average levels.
