The elemental composition of Patrinia scabiosifolia

Abstract

Aim. To study the mineral composition of the aerial organs of Patrinia scabiosifolia Fisch. ex Link. Materials and methods. Objects of research - leaves and flowers of Patrinia scabiosifolia Fisch. The multi-element analysis was performed on an 1CP-MS quadrupole Agilent 7500ce mass spectrometer using a micro-flow nebulizer and a sample introduction system. As external standards, a sample of Baikal water and multicell standard solutions 1CP-MS-68A-A and 1CP-MS-68A-B were used. The analysis was made of the results of quantitative content of mineral components of at least 100 pg/kg and a relative error of determination of not more than 5 %. Results. As a result of the study, the content of 8 macro- and 64 micro- and ultra-microelements was determined in the samples of leaves and flowers of Patrinia scabiosifolia. Of these, 13 elements are classified as essential and conditionally essential - Cu, Fe, 1, Co, C.R., M.N., Mo, S.E., Zn, A.L., B., V., Co, Si. The magnesium content in the test samples is close to the content of this element in Valeriana officinalis. Conclusion. The composition and content of the chemical elements in the flowers and leaves of Patrinia scabiosifolia, which grows on the territory of Eastern Siberia, has been studied. The similarity of the mineral composition of the samples studied and the row of Valeriana officinalis is similar.
