- Abstract
Milk is an excellent source of many essential nutrients, including Ca, proteins and vitamin D. Nine metals (Ca, Cd, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, Zn, Ni and Pb) in raw and pasteurized milk of cow, sheep and goat were determined by atomic absorption spectrometry, flame technique. The levels of Cd, Fe, Mn, Ni and Pb were below the detection limit of the used method. The concentration ranges for Ca, Mg, Zn and Cu, in all milk samples, were as follows: 459.8-992.8, 59.5-206.8, Mg>Zn>Cu. The highest content of Ca and Mg was found in goat milk. In the case of cow's milk, the content of Ca, Mg and Zn increased with increasing amount of milk fat in processed milk. Matrix correlation analysis showed that there is a significant correlation for the following pairs: Ca-Mg (r = 0.830), Zn-Cu (r = 0.799) and Ca-Zn (r = 0.624). Also, a strong correlation was found between milk fat and Ca, Mg and Zn (Pearson factor, r > 0.600). Based on daily consumption of 200 mL of milk, the milk consumption does not meet the daily requirements for determined elements. Most significant intake was in case of Ca.
