Abstract

In this work, for the first time, an elemental analysis of medicinal plant materials based on the flowers of calendula (Calendula officinalis) and centaury herb (Centaurium erythraea) of the Chuvash Republic (Cheboksary) was carried out using the X-ray fluorescent method. Information about the mineral composition of these plants in open sources is extremely scarce. It was found that potassium, calcium, silicon and iron are present in significant quantities in both samples compared to the rest of the detected elements. The total content of macro- and microelements in calendula officinalis is significantly higher than in centaury. For Calendula officinalis flowers, macroelements can be arranged according to their content in the following descending order (the value in mg/kg is given in parentheses): K (18250) > Cl (10190) > Ca (9520) > S (2230) > P (2130), and trace elements – Si (10150) > Fe (2890) > Sr (80) > Mn (50) > Zn (30) > Cu (20) > Br (10). Macroelements of centaury decrease in content in the order K (9560) > Ca (3870) > Cl (1770) > S=P (1270), and microelements – Si (2140) > Fe (230) > Mn (50) > Zn (30 ) > Sr=Cu=Br (10). We also found the following elements in the plant, in mg/kg (in the numerator is the value for calendula officinalis, and in the denominator for centaury): titanium (330/40), silver (30/20), zirconium (20/0), chromium ( 20/0), vanadium (20/0) and rubidium (10/0). Toxic metals (mercury, lead and cadmium) and arsenic were not detected in samples of marigold and centaury.
