Farklı Botanik Kaynaklı Arı Polenlerinin Element Analizi ile Değerlendirilmesi

Bee pollen contains many nutrients, including minerals. Elements are minor substances of bee pollen, they play a crucial role in identifying its quality. As food supplement, concentrations essential macro and microelements, harmful trace elements have to be verified determine quality safety. This study aimed identify the element contents pollens from different botanic sources. Firstly, we applied melissopalynological analysis find botanical origins samples. Then, it was determined 13 Element concentration measured by Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). Potassium (K) occurred at highest samples (8666.67-9623.33), followed magnesium (Mg) (808.08-672.08), sodium (Na) (263.00-349.67), calcium (Ca) (261.33-294), iron (Fe) (96.00-110), Zn (33.77-57.00), Manganese (Mn) (20.15-33.85), Copper (Cu) (5.27-9.60), Nickel (Ni) (1.13-2.48), Chromium (Cr) (1.95-2.20), Selenium (Se) (0.72-1.03) Cobalt (Co) (0-008) respectively as mg kg-1. Target hazard quotients (THQ), index (HI), recommended daily allowance (RDA) values were calculated with these results. Considering THQ values, that consumption safe for adults, but not suitable children. At same time concluded this can good mineral source terms elements, K, Mg, Se, Mn, Na, Ca, Fe, Cu., Cr
