COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THE ELEMENTAL COMPOSITION OF CISTANCHE SEEDS (CISTANCHE SALSA) FROM VARIOUS REGIONS OF KARAKALPAKSTAN

Abstract

. Mass spectrometry with inductively coupled plasma was used to study the macro- and microelement composition of seeds of the Cistanche salsa ( Cistanche salsa ), growing in various regions of Karakalpakstan. Differences in the composition and quantitative content of elements depending on the place of growth of cistanche were established. Of the 44 elements determined by the analysis in the studied objects, potassium, calcium, phosphorus are dominant.
