Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the concentration of macroelements
(Ca, Na, K, Mg) and essential elements (Zn, Fe, Se, Cu) in milk and yoghurt
collected from the Croatian market. Inductively coupled plasma-optical
emission spectrometry was used as an analytical technique. Mean
concentrations measured in milk and yoghurt were (mg/kg): Ca 1406.9 and
1153.8, K 1995.5 and 1526.5, Na 608.3 and 519.2, Mg 136.4 and 108.0, Zn 3.92
and 3.48, Fe 0.332 and 0.231, Cu 0.005 and 0.124. Significantly higher
concentrations of Ca, K, Na and Cu (p<0.01-p<0.001) were found in milk than
in yoghurt. The element concentrations measured in milk, with the exception
of higher K and Na levels, were in agreement with the literature data.
Variations in the content of all elements in yoghurt were found in comparison
to data from other countries. These results represent the first data on
macro- and microelements from the Croatian market. The variations found in
comparison to other countries suggest that unique processes are utilized in
the production of yoghurt products.
