摘要
The levels of four macroelements-calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium-and four microelements-copper, iron, manganese and zinc-were determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry or flame photometry in the edible portions of a variety of raw fruits and vegetables; namely, banana, plantain, African pear, lime, orange, cucumber, cabbage, okra, onion, pepper, pumpkin leaf, tomato and waterleaf. The vegetables, especially the green leafy ones, were found to contain the highest levels of most of the elements, with few exceptions. © 1990.
