Macro- and micro elements of ice-cream wafer, biscuit and gofret wafers purchased from several local markets in Konya were determined by Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometry (ICP-AES). Ca, K, Mg and Na contents of all samples were found at high levels. Micro element and heavy metal contents of samples ranged at levels between 0.25 mg/Kg to 540.01 mg/Kg. B levels of some ice-cream wafers were found at high levels. Heavy metal contents of creams were found low compared with individually biscuit and gofret wafers.
