Validation of microwave digestion method for determination of trace metals in mushrooms.

A microwave digestion method for mushrooms, developed in the study, allows fast preparation of samples and reduces the contamination risk in the process of determining trace metals. Concentrations of six trace elements, Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, Pb, and Cd were measured in 50 samples of different species of edible mushrooms (fam. Boletaceae) using atomic absorption spectrometry after microwave and dry ashing procedure. The correlation between concentrations obtained by the two different methods of sample preparation was high for all metals.

cadmium; copper; dry ashing; iron; lead; manganese; plant tissue; zinc
