Abstract

Concentration of Na, K, Ca and Mg in selected vegetable cultures: spinach (Spinacia oleracea), lettuce (Lactuca sativa) and parsley (Pertoselinum crispum) were analyzed. Only edible parts of the above plants were used. Metal content was determined by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). Thermo Scientific with Echelle optical design and Charge Injection Device (CID) solid statedetector was used. Determined concentrations were within intervals: 18.44 – 85.04, 16.4 – 25.1, 2.97 – 5.12 and 1.97 – 2.76 in milligrams per gram of dry sample, for Na, K, Ca and Mg, respectively.
