%0 Journal Article %T Mineral and heavy metal contents of some animal livers %J - %D 2019 %X The mineral and heavy metal contents of beef, chicken, goat, quail, sheep and five different ducks livers were determined by Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-AES). The P contents of livers ranged from 8172.87 mg/Kg (Civil) to 10051.46 mg/kg (goat). In addition, K contents of liver samples were found between 7848.39 mg/Kg (Ka£¿£¿kc£¿) and 10404.48 mg/kg (chicken). While Ca contents of livers change between 117.46 mg/kg (goat) and 316.78 mg/kg (quail), Mg content varied between 475.69 mg/kg (beef) and 769.32 mg/kg (chicken). This study showed that quail liver contained the highest concentrations of iron (413.41 mg/Kg), followed by chicken (363.88 mg/Kg), goat (138.47 mg/Kg), sheep (114.40 mg/Kg) and beef (102.20 mg/Kg). In addition,Zn contents of samples varied between 49.69 mg/Kg (quail) and 104.20 mg/Kg (Civil). While Fe contents of livers range from 669.12 mg/Kg (Civil) to 3808.90 mg/Kg (K£¿l), Na contents were found between 3142.2 mg/Kg (Ye£¿il) to 4756.8 mg/Kg (K£¿l). Cu contents of livers were established between 16.48 mg/Kg (K£¿l) and 72.73 mg/Kg (Civil). There were significant differences in mineral contents of liver types (p<0.05). In this study, investigated animal livers can be used as supplement for good personal health %K S£¿£¿£¿r eti %K ke£¿i %K tavuk %K b£¿ld£¿rc£¿n %K yaban £¿rde£¿i %K karaci£¿er %K mineral %K a£¿£¿r metal %U http://dergipark.org.tr/ejosat/issue/43603/506340
