Abstract

This study was carried out to investigate the contents of minerals and heavy metals in the sea salts of Korean products and imported products. NaCl was major component, which ranged from for Korean products and from for imported products. Minerals and heavy metals of Korean products and imported products were analyzed with ICP-AES and AAS, respectively. Mineral contents of K and Mg in Korean products were relatively higher than those in imported ones, but no significant differences were found for heavy metals between them.
