Abstract

Mineral contents of several fruits growing in Minsk in Belarus were determined by Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometry (ICP-AES). The highest K (19141 mg/kg) was found in redberry sample, followed by red plum (big) (13352 mg/Kg), strawberry (13287 mg/Kg), blackberry (12896 mg/kg), yellow grape (12215 mg/kg), yellow plum H1 (12438 mg/kg), yellow plum H2 (12124 mg/kg), black grape (big) (11472 mg/kg), black grape (small) (11692 mg/kg), red plum (small) (10743 mg/Kg) and grape (red) (10572 mg/kg). P contents of fruits changed between 394 mg/kg wild apple) and 3422 mg/kg (redberry). Cr, Mo, Ni and Pb were found in very low concentrations. Generally, while Cu contents of fruits change between 1.6 mg/Kg (red hybrit apple) and 8 mg/kg (red berry), Fe contents ranged from 12.5 mg/kg (yellow pear) to 51.4 mg/kg (black berry). It appears that fruits could serve as good source of some nutrients.

Zusammenfassung

Der Mineralstoffgehalt verschiedener Obstsorten wurde durch induktiv gekoppelte Plasma-Atomemissionsspektrometrie (ICP-AES) bestimmt. Der höchste Kaliumgehalt (19.141 mg/kg) wurde in Holunderbeeren festgestellt, gefolgt von roten Pflaumen (groß) (13.352 mg/kg), Erdbeeren (13.287 mg/kg), Brombeeren (12.896 mg/kg), gelben Trauben (12.215 mg/kg), gelbe Pflaumen der Sorte H1 (12.438 mg/kg), gelbe Pflaumen der Sorte H2 (12.124 mg/kg), schwarze Trauben (groß) (11.472 mg/kg), schwarze Trauben (klein) (11.692 mg/kg), rote Pflaumen (klein) (10743 mg/kg) und rote Trauben (10572 mg/kg). Der P-Gehalt (Phosphorgehalt) betrug bei den Früchten zwischen 394 mg/kg (Wildapfel) und 3422 mg/kg (Rotebeeren). Cr (Chrom), Mo (Molybdän), Ni (Nickel) und Pb (Blei) wurden nur in sehr niedrigen Konzentrationen festgestellt. Obst und Beerenfrüchte können somit eine gute Quelle für bestimmte Mineralstoffe und Spurenelemente sein.
