Assessment of the elemental content of edible oils is important from toxicological and nutritional viewpoints. Neutron activation analysis was used to determine the chemical content of virgin sunflower oil, two types of refined sunflower oils commercially available in Romania, and virgin olive oil produced in Algeria. A total of 17 elements: Na, Al, Cl, K, Ca, Ti, V, Mn, Co, Zn, Cu, As, Br, Sr, Sb, I, and W were determined in the studied oils. In all samples the concentrations of K, Ti, V, Co, Cu, As, Sr, and I were below the detection limit of their determination. The highest concentration of Br was detected in the olive oil sample. The concentrations of heavy metals were found to be below the permissible limits for edible oils. (Chemical Equation Presented).
