Abstract

A number of dried fruits included figs, Qamar al-Din slices (dried apricots), tamarind paste, carrot slices, coconut slices, and lemon slices; were used to determine microbial counts (Total aerobic bacteria, total Coliform, E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus and yeasts and molds) via petrifilm method. A number of essential elements (Fe, Zn and Mn) and toxic elements (Ni, Cd and Pb) were estimated. A significant differences P
