Özet:

 

A comparative study on elemental composition of various  chickpea (Cicer arientînum L) samples was conducted by using  wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence (WDXRF).  22 elements, Al,  Ca, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, P, S, Sr, Zn, Br, Cl, K, Mg, Na, Ba, Rb, Si, Au,  Cr, La and Sn, were determined in chickpea samples (n = 10) grown  under organic and conventional farming regimes.  Results obtained from  each group were analyzed statistically using the SPSS statistic  program.  It was observed that the concentration and peak intensity  values of Ca, Fe, P, Cl, K, Mg and Na elements were higher in the  chickpea samples grown under organic farming regime.  Likewise, Al,  Ni, Cr and Sn levels were found in higher levels in the samples grown  under conventional farming regime.  Ba was detected only in organic  samples; although Sr, Br, Au, La were detected only in conventional  samples.  Our findings clearly revealed that organic chickpeas are  likely to have higher nutritional mineral content.  And the chickpea  samples grown under conventional farming regime could contain harmful  metals like Al, Ni, Cr and Sn that might damage the various systems  and/or organs of humans and animals.
