Abstract
Recently, several studies have been reported on the trace element composition of milk, especially human milk. However, there is limited study comparing different types of milk collected from different animals and humans. This study describes the analysis of four trace elements (Cu, Zn, Cd, and Ni) in cows', goats', ewes', and human mature milk collected in Tokat, Turkey. Analysis was carried out by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) and microwave digestion technique method, which was used to extract the trace elements from the milk samples. Our results are in agreement with the values reported in the literature, with the exception of nickel concentration in ewes' milk, which has the highest value reported.
