Abstract
⺠The concentrations of 15 elements were determined in three species of tomatoes by ICP OES and ICP-MS. ⺠The type of sample, form of cultivation and maturation influenced the concentrations of trace elements in tomato samples. ⺠Tomatoes in the final stages of maturation showed higher concentrations ââfor most elements that were measured. ⺠Organic tomatoes had higher levels of micronutrients and lower levels of contaminants.
