This studies were designed to know the contents of trace element and magnesium in cereals. Twenty two kinds of cereal, 104´Eamples, were analyzed by atomic absorption spectrophotometer for the determination of Manganese, Iron, Magnesium, Chrome, Cupper, Nickel, Zinc, Stannous, Lead and Cadmium. The results are as follows:
1) The contents of Mn and Fe in the sesame group show highest value and nest is bean group. In the rice group its content shows lowest value than other cereals.
2) In the Cr content its value is lower than other elements in cereals :respectively. Cr content of sesame and bean group show higher than rice and barley group.
3) The contents of Cu and Ni in the sesame and bean -group show higher value than the value of rice and barley group. Its contents of rice and barley group is almost equal in Cu and
Ni.
4) For the Zu content the value of sesame group is higher than other cereals and next is bean group. In the Sn content the value of bean group shows higher one than other cereals. The contents of Zn and Sn in rice and barley group are lower than other cereals.
5) The value of Pb is almost equal to each cereal. The content of Cd in bean group and barley group show higher than other cereals and its value of rice group is equal to the value of barley group.
