ELEMENTAL COMPOSITION OF FRUITS OF VACCINIUM VITIS-IDAEA L. AND OXYCOCCUS PALUSTRIS PERS.
Abstract
In medicine, the fruits of Vaccinium vitis ideaea L. and Oxycoccus palustrie Pers. are widely used. Vaccinium fruits possess antioxidant, expectorant, diuretic, antitumour and hypercathartic action. Oxycoccus fruits have antioxidant, diuretic, antifebrile and antioxidant effect. These qualities depend on a complex of biologically active substances such as vitamins, hormones, macro- and micronutrients. Macro- and micronutrients contained in fruits are able to prevent the nutrient deficit which can cause some hard diseases. At the same time knowledge of toxic elements gives us information about pollution degree of studied fruits. Therefore, the aim of our study was qualitative detection and quantitative determination of element composition of fruits of Vaccinium vitis ideaea L. and Oxycoccus palustrie Pers, picked in Western Siberia (Tomsk oblast, Tomsk region). Determination of elemental composition was performed by methods of neutron activation analysis, atomic emission spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. Studied samples contain important nutrients which are found in vitamins and nutritional supplements, widely used in officinal and traditional medicine and in industry.Downloads
