| Abstract | Copper, iron, manganese and zinc contents of cereals that consume in Libya were determined and the intakes of these elements in Libyan population were estimated. Selected cereals including wheat and rice which are the most consumed by Libyan population were analysed. Cereal samples were digested by using microwave digestion method with nitric acid and H2O2. Concentrations of Cu, Fe, Mn and Zn were determined by ICP-MS instrument. Cu, Fe, Mn and Zn intakes were evaluated by estimation of cereal consummation in Libyan population and FAOSTAT data for the period from 1997 to 2007 was used. Intakes (mg/day) of these elements were Cu (2.2), Fe (17.1), Mn (15.8) and Zn (10) for all types of cereals in this study. Both RDA and PMTDI scales were calculated for Libyan cereals. The RDA of Cu and Mnexceeded by 1.5 and 2 fold, respectively. Importantly, Mn intake showed high level of Mnfrom cereals consumption; this demonstrates that Libyan population may exposure to high levels of Mn. The PMTDI % of Mn in this study was estimated to be87.8%for all cereals. This value of Mn can be risk if it is added to concentrations of Mn from other food including vegetables, meat and tea infusion. More study should be done for estimating daily intakes of Cu and Mn in Libyan population for different type of foods. No deficiency of these elements was detected in the current study.
