Mineral and Heavy Metal Contents of Different Honeys Produced in Turkey. Journal of Apicultural Research, 51(4), 353-358.

Mineral contents of honeys were determined by Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometry (ICP-AES). Whilst the Sodium contents of the honeys varied between 168.11 ppm and 729.94 ppm, and phosphorus concentrations varied from 462.38 ppm to 845.65 ppm, magnesium was found at the highest concentrations in our samples.en10.3896/IBRA.1.51.4.10info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessHoneyyearlocationmineralsheavy metalICP-AESArticle514353358Q2WOS:000309580100010Q1
