OPERATIVE CONTROL OF QUALITY OF VEGETABLES BY ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS

Vegetables’  pollution  by  mercury,  copper,  zinc  and  arsenic  concerning  the  EU  standards  is  not  permitted, whereas in Ukraine it has to be within the limits of permissible concentrations. The urgent task is to develop an express method for controlling  the  concentrations  of  heavy  metals  in  vegetable  production. We  have  investigated  the  electrical  characteristics  of vegetable juices aiming the operative control of heavy metals concentrations in them.
