摘要

Cannabis sativa seeds from the Senhaja Srair region (Northern Rif, Morocco) were analyzed by k0-INAA at the CNESTEN TRIGA Mark II reactor to determine their elemental composition. Method accuracy was validated using IAEA-336 (epiphytic lichen), with En scores within ± 1. Results showed high levels of macroelements (K, Mg, Ca) and essential trace elements (Fe, Mn, Zn), while rare earth elements remained at ultra-trace levels, indicating low contamination. Multivariate analysis identified two geochemical components: aluminosilicate and carbonate/saline. Overall, the seeds exhibit a favorable mineral profile with no significant toxic element accumulation, supporting their potential for safe nutritional and nutraceutical applications.
