In this contribution we study the chemical enrichment of the interstellar medium and stellar population of the building blocks of current typical galaxies in the field, in cosmological hydrodynamics simulations. The simulations include detailed modeling of chemical enrichment by SNIa and SNII In our simulations the missing metal problem is caused by chemical elements being locked up in stars, in the central regions (or bulges) mainly. Supernova energy feedback could help to reduce this concentration by expelling metals to the intergalactic medium.
