The superscript number 1 indicates that the results are expressed as g/Kg. The analysis was performed in duplicate. Results are presented as values ± standard deviation. SFS—sunflower seeds, SFOC/PE—pellets sunflower oilcakes, SFOC/C—sunflower oilcakes in the form of cake, SFO—sunflower oil, Li—lithium, Be—beryllium, Mg—magnesium, Ca—calcium, Ti—titan, Cr—chromium, Mn—manganese, Fe—iron, Co—cobalt, Ni—nickel, Cu—copper, Zn—zinc, As—arsenic, Se—selenium, Sr—strontium, Mo—molybdenum, Cd—cadmium, Sb—antimony, Ce—cesium, Tl—thallium. Lowercase letters (a,b,c and d) refer to the comparison of the same element between the different samples; results followed by superscript letters are significantly different (p < 0.05%) according to Turkey’s post hoc test.
