    Determination of some toxic element (Cr, Cd, Cu and Pb) levels in cumin and cinnamon aromatic plants frequently used as foodstuff

    Aromatic plants are repositories of various elements in a wide concentration range with significant negative or positive health effects. It is known that there are more than twenty elements with physiological activity in mammals and humans. Elements like copper, nickel, cobalt and chromium are necessary ingredients of biological structures. Such elements may be toxic at concentrations above the limit values required for their function. In many biochemical reactions, elements such as lead, cadmium and arsenic have toxic effects. In this study, the amounts of some toxic elements in cumin and cinnamon samples were determined. Elemental amounts of Cr, Cd, Cu and Pb in 8 samples were analyzed with flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) method. According to the results, Cr element was found to be higher in the studied samples. Cu, Pb and Cd elements were found to be normal. In addition, the analytic method was confirmed by detection limits, accuracy, linearity and recovery experiments, sufficient values were obtained in each case.
