In this study, a novel approach has been developed using differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry (DPASV) for the simultaneous determination of Zn(II), Cd(II), Pb(II) and Cu(II) in edible oils at hanging mercury drop electrode. The microwave digestion of oil samples was carried out with concentrated HNO₃and H₂O₂. KNO₃was used as a supporting electrolyte. The experimental conditions optimized such as deposition time, stirring rate and size of mercury drop were 300 s, 600 rpm and 10 mm², respectively. The method was applied to quantify Zn(II), Cd(II), Pb(II) and Cu(II) in crude and refined hazelnut, corn, sunflower and olive oils. During refining of different vegetable oils, the removal efficiencies of Zn(II), Cd(II), Pb(II) and Cu(II) were calculated as 98.20–99.91, 98.50–99.90, 95.26–99.76 and 95.93–99.92 %, respectively. The limits of detection for Zn(II), Cd(II), Pb(II) and Cu(II) were 2.1 × 10⁻⁸, 8.7 × 10⁻¹⁰, 7.1 × 10⁻⁹and 3.4 × 10⁻⁹and the limits of quantification were 6.8 × 10⁻⁸, 2.9 × 10⁻⁹, 2.3 × 10⁻⁸and 1.1 × 10⁻⁸M with linear regression coefficients (R²) of 0.9930, 0.9928, 0.9893 and 0.9931, respectively. It was observed that the above metals in crude and refined vegetable oils could be determined simultaneously by the DPASV method.
