The elemental analysis of packed food items which is collected in Debre Tabor markets, Ethiopia namely
Pasta, Macaroni, cookies, biscuit, wheat bread, white teff injera, Red teff injera, barley so, barleycorn and
maiz bread samples were carried out using EDX spectrometer. An X-ray beam was used to excite each sample and spectra were
recorded with a high-resolution Si(Li) detector. The data analysis was carried out by software. Trace elements P, K, Na, Cl, Mg,
Ca, Fe, Al and Zn were estimated, and elemental concentrations were determined. To get the exact results of the present study the
analysis repeats three times.
