Abstract :This study was conducted on 5 local grape varieties of Vitis vinifera L. grown in commercial vineyards in Konya in 2008 to determine macro and micro mineral substance contents in their seeds. Mineral sub-stance contents were determined using ICP-MS. It was found that all of the varieties had calcium, potassi-um, zinc, manganese and iron elements in considerable amounts. The grape seeds that are rich in mineral elements can be used as a food source for human nutrition.Keywords : Üzüm çeşitleri (Vitis vinifera L.), makro mineraller, mikro mineraller
