Chaenomeles sp. (C. cathayensis, C. japonica, C. spesiosa and C. x superba) arecharacterized by rich chemical composition of all plant parts and the widevariability of the accumulation of separate components in different species andcultivars. For the expansion of ideas about the chaenomeles content nutritionalvalue of 7 essential macro- and microelements in the flowers and fruit of 8cultivars from the Nikita Botanical Gardens collection have been studied. Analysisof plant samples was carried out by dry ashing with subsequent determination ofmostelements on the atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Ca and Mg weredetermined by complex metric method. It was revealed that essential elements wereaccumulated in the flowers and fruits in different quantities. The maximum amountof K, Fe, Mg, Zn, Cu and Mn is contained in the flowers. The largest amount of Cawas detected in fruits, whereas Zn, Mn and Cu were most presented in seeds. Thestudied cultivars differ significantly in accumulation of essential elements.According to the studied complex components, the accession P-8-3 was allocated.Flowers were characterized by the highest content of Ca, Zn, Mn, Cu and highcontent – of K; fruits were rich in K, Ca, Zn, Mn and Cu. In the jam from thechaenomeles fruit, the high content of K (2087 mg 100 g-, i. e. more than 2%) wasrevealed. It is seven fold higher than daily rate for human. Thus, chaenomelesflowers, fruits and seeds are a valuable raw material, enriched with vital macroandmicroelements.

Summary In the study, the relationships were investigated among N, P, Fe, Zn, Mn and Cu, in medicinal plant raw materials (herbal bags) and their water-soluble chemical forms in infuses. 42 independent samples of plant materials were chosen, represented by different morphological plant parts as herbs, leaves, flowers and fruits. The elements were determined by UV/Vis spectrometry (non-metals), and FAAS (metallic elements) after previous mineralization of plant samples (total concentrations), and directly in herbal teas (water-extractable forms). Most frequently the correlations between non-metals and Zn and Mn occurred, both between their total contents the water-extractable forms. Statistically significant correlations were also found in pairs: Zn-Mn, Fe-Zn, Mn-Fe, and Cu-Zn. Application of multivariate analysis revealed that cluster analysis grouped the studied samples into clusters with similar levels of the analyzed elements, and principal component analysis allowed the identification of water-extractable Zn, P-PO4 and water-extractable Cu as the most crucial factors determining the differentiation of the studied plant samples.

Candlenut shell (Aleurites moluccana Willd) is a waste produced from processing candlenut plants with a fairly hard texture. The use of candlenut shells as fertilizer, especially in Central Sulawesi, has not been done so much. The aim of this study was to determine the levels of calcium (Ca) and potassium (K) in candlenut shells. Calcium and potassium levels were determined using an atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS). The results show that the average calcium level in the candlenut shell is 0.315 ± 0.09%, while the average potassium level is 0.090 ± 0.01%. The results of Ca and K in candlenut shell are expected to be used as raw material for fertilizer production.

 This work evaluated the potential of lead (Pb) phytoextraction by forage peanut, Arachis pintoi, cultivated on an Oxisol and a Gleysol. The samples of these soils received Pb as lead acetate heptahydrate (Pb(C2H3O2)2.7H2O) at rates of 0, 150 and 300 mg kg-1. The plants were cultivated in pots filled with Pb contaminated soil, and 105 days after planting were collected to determine shoot and root dry matter. Lead contents in soil and plant samples were determined using an atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Lead did not affect shoot dry matter yield in both soil classes, but linearly reduced root dry matter. The highest Pb concentration in the plant was detected in the A. pintoi shoot. This species is not a Pb accumulator but may be considered Pb tolerant and is indicated for revegetation programs in Pb-polluted soils.

The article is focused on estimation of Zinc in the roadside forages, and blood of buffaloes feeding on these forages. This study was carried out in Sargodha during December 2015 to January 2016 (winter) and May 2016 to June 2016 (summer). Five road sites (Mateela, Faisalabad roadside, Shaheenabad roadside, Bhalwal roadside and 50 chak) were selected from sampling of forages, soil and buffalo blood sample. Heavy metal analysis of all digested samples was done with atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Analysis of variance and correlation was done with two way ANOVA. This study regarding the accumulation of zinc in forages, soil and the buffalo blood would help the authorities to exactly determine the agents which are responsible for increasing pollution in the environment.

In view of growing requirements of the food industry regarding elderberries (genus Sambucus), a need to increase their productivity and improve their chemical composition has emerged. With this purpose in mind, numerous elderberry interspecific hybrids have been created. In the present work, the content of minerals in their crucial plant parts was studied. It was also investigated whether superior genotypes regarding the mineral composition of berries and inflorescences could be predicted at early stages of plant development. The results showed that elderberry leaves contained the highest amounts of Ca, Mg, Mn, Zn, and Sr, while K and P were predominant in fruit stalks. Fe and Al prevailed in roots and Cu in bark. Although berries showed lower mineral content compared to other plant parts, their mineral content is not negligible and could be comparable to other commonly consumed berries. Genotypes with a favorable mineral content of inflorescences and berries could be predicted on the basis of known mineral composition of their shoots and leaves. The study also indicates that S. nigra genotypes and the majority of interspecific hybrids analyzed are suitable for further genetic breeding or cultivation.

AbstractVarved clay deposits from ice-dammed lakes are a particularly important and broadly applied raw material used for the production of high-quality ceramics (red bricks, roof tiles, etc.), but the mineralogy and geochemistry of these sediments are not fully understood. The aim of the present study was to determine the chemical and mineralogical composition of ice-dammed lake sediments of the Lębork deposit. Major-element analysis of the compositions of selected samples from the ice-dammed lake clays was performed by X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and trace elements were determined by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry. The mineralogical composition of clay samples was determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Analyses of the chemical composition of the ice-dammed lake clays of the Lębork deposit showed that the dominant component was SiO2 with a mean content of 56.13 wt.%; the second most abundant component was Al2O3, with a mean content for the entire deposit of 11.61 wt.%. Analysis by ICP-MS indicated the presence of rare earth elements (REE), e.g. cerium, neodymium, lanthanum, and praseodymium; their mean contents are: 56.9, 27.0, 26.3, and 7.3 ppm, respectively. Mineralogical analysis of the varved clays identified quartz, muscovite, calcite, and clay minerals – illite, kaolinite, and montmorillonite. The material filling the Lębork basin is characterized by small lateral and vertical variability in chemical composition. The results of the present study may be of considerable importance in determining the parent igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks, the weathering products of which supplied material to the ice-dammed lake, as well as in determining the mechanisms and character of the sedimentation process itself.
