ICP DETERMINATION OF Pb, Mn, Cu, Zn, Fe, K, Na, P, Mg AND Ca IN EDIBLE WILD MUSHROOM CANTHARELLUS CIBARIUS

The aim of this study was to perform ICP analysis of the content of Pb, Mn, Cu, Zn, Fe, K, Na, P, Mg and Ca in wild edible mushrooms Cantharellus cibarius.The samples were collected from the Batak mountain, Bulgaria.The preparation of samples was done by microwave mineralisation.All mineral concentrations were determined on a dry weight basis (d.w.).The average content of studied elements: Pb, Mn, Cu, Zn, Fe, K, Na, P, Mg and Ca in Cantharellus cibarius samples was: 0.272 mg kg -1 , 18.319 mg kg -1 , 27.568 mg kg -1 , 78.829 mg kg -1 , 82.295 mg kg -1 , 31308.130mg kg -1 , 139.431 mg kg -1 , 2713.615 mg kg -1 , 626.292 mg kg -1 and 459.594 mg kg -1 .
