Research on Accumulation of Zinc (Zn) and Cadmium (Cd) in Sunflower Oil

Abstract

The research was conducted in both polluted (with heavy metals zinc and cadmium) and unpolluted regions. Bulgarian hybrids Albena, U-41, U-70 were used as materials. The aim of the research was to determine contamination and accumulation of heavy metals zinc and cadmium in sunflower oil. The researches which were conducted for accumulation of zinc and cadmium in leaf- stem mass show significant differences from standard hybrid Albena and the last two hybrids in the polluted region. The trend goes on to the made experiments for accumulation of heavy metals zinc and cadmium in sunflower oil.

Ayçiçeği yağındaki çinko ve kadmiyum içeriği ve birikiminin belirlenmesi amacıyla yapılan araştırmada, Bulgaristan kökenli hibrit Albena, U-41 ve U-70 ayçiçeği çeşitleri kullanılmıştır. Çalışma, ağır metallerle kirlenmiş ve kirlenmemiş iki farklı bölgede yapılmıştır. Ağır metallerle kirlenmiş bölgelerde ayçiçeği yağındaki kadmiyum birikimi bakımından önemli farklılıklar belirlenmiştir.
