This study was intended to investigate the content of Cu, Mn, Zn in the dried milk powders except infant formula milkpowder from January to March, 1986. The content of the trace metals was determined by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry. The results were as follows: 1. Averages of Cu, Mn, Zn in the total samples were Cu, 0.3043 ppm Mn, 0.5101 ppm Zn, 26.006 ppm. 2. Averages and ranges of Cu, Mn, Zu in the whole milk powder were Cu, 0.2483, 0.216 - 0.48 Mn, 0.552 ppm, 0.336 - 0.732 ppm Zn, 28.961 ppm, 7.5 - 51.9 ppm. 3. Averages and ranges of Cu, Mn, Zn in the skim milk powder were Cu, 0.4095 ppm, 0.3 - 0.54 ppm Mn, 0.6907 ppm, 0.348 - 0.84 ppm Zn, 38.381 ppm, 30.6 - 55.2 ppm. 4. Averages and ranges of Cu, Mn, Zn in the modified milk powder were Cu, 0.3459 ppm, 0.12 0.948 ppm Mn, 0.2414 ppm, 0.096 - 0.348 ppm Zn, 7.752 ppm, 1.2 - 17.002 ppm. 5. It showed the highest amount of Cu, Mn, Zu in the skim milk powder group than in the other group and the lowest amount of Cu in the whole milk powder group and Mn, Zn in the modified milk group.
