Abstract
The objective of this study was to compare mineral contents of chickpeas and haricot bean using two different analytical digestion method including dry ashing and microwave digestion method. The levels of micronutrient (Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn) and macronutrient minerals (Ca, Mg, Na, K) in two different legumes, as chickpea ( Cicer arientinum L) and haricot bean ( Phaseolus vulgaris L. ) samples that are widely growing and consumed in Tunceli Province-Turkey were evaluated. The mineral composition of chickpea and haricot bean were determined by using FAAS after dissolving dry ashing and microwave digestion methods. In this way both the mineral composition of legume samples and the dissolving methods were compared. Results obtained from each group and each method was analyzed statistically using the SPSS statistic program. It was observed that in chickpea and haricot bean samples Ca, Cu and Zn concentrations using microwave digestion method were higher than dry ashing method (p<0.01).
