Abstract
Canned food is becoming increasingly popular in the market. In order to assess the level of concentrationof some important elements in samples of these foods, ten different types of canned food were studied. Theconcentration level of nine elements (potassium, magnesium, calcium, iron, manganese, copper, zinc, leadand cadmium) was measured using atomic absorption spectroscopy. The results showed that the highestconcentrations of potassium, magnesium, zinc and lead were in the chickpeas sample. While the highestconcentration of calcium and manganese appeared in the fish sample. As for the elements of iron andcopper, the highest concentration of them was in the olive sample. In the mushroom sample, the highestconcentration of cadmium was shown.
