Abstract
In this work we determined the oxalic acid content in several vegetabl es of Thessaloniki's area, using two methods 1,2. The results of the t wo methods have been found to be sufficiently closed. The oxalic acid content was found to vary from 0.195 % in peas to 7.336 % in spinach i n dried samples whereas in tomatoes it was found to be relative to the ir maturity degree.
