[Spectrometric determination of the content of nutritional elements in fruits of different red pear varieties].

A study was carried out on the contents of nutritional elements such as K, Fe, Zn, Ca, Cu, Mg and Mn in three different red pear varieties, namely Meirensu, Hongsucui and Mantianhongs, by flame atomic absorption. The results indicated that the linear relationships for different elements within the limits of working curves are good, and the range of recovery is 98%-104%, hence showing that the results asre satisfactory. There are abundant nutritional elements in fruits of the three different red pear varieties, meaning that they all have a relatively high nutritive value. In fruits of the three red pear varieties, the content sequence of different nutritional elements was found to be K>Fe>Zn>Ca>Cu>Mg>Mn. In fruits of the three different red pear varieties, the content sequence of K, Zn, Mg and Mn was Meirensu> Hongsucui>Mantianhong; the content sequence of Fe and Cu was Hongsucui>Mantianhong>Meirensu; and the content sequence of Ca was Mantianhong>Hongsucui> Meirensu; and the total content sequence of seven nutritional elements was Hongsucui>Meirensu>Mantianhong.

[Spectrometric determination of trace elements in 'Jinguang' prunus mume var. bungo of different growth periods].

A study was carried out on the content of trace elements such as Ca, Fe, Zn, Mn and Cu of prunus mume var. bungo in different growth periods by WFX-110 atomic absorption spectrometry. The results indicated that the linear relationships of different elements within the limits of working curves are good and the range of the recovery is 98% -105%, hence showing that the results are satisfactory. The total content of these five trace elements increases as the fruit grows, but the concentration is related to the growth of fruit and fruit core, which provides us with valuable data. The contents of the trace elements essential to human body are relatively high, which shows that this fruit breed has a relatively high nutritive value.
