Elemental analysis of hazelnut kernels and shells by spark source mass spectrometry.
Samples from three varieties of hazelnuts, namely Corylus avellana var. pontica, C. maxima mill. and Corylus colurna var. glandulifera, which are cultivated in Turkey, were analyzed by spark-source mass spectrometry (SSMS). A total of 35 elements were determined in the samples. It was generally shown that 3-5 elements were in nontrace, 9-13 were in trace and 17-20 were in ultratrace amounts in kernels and shells.
