Abstract

In this paper, the contents of elements Se, Zn, Mn, Cu, Mg, Fe, Al and Be in the plantago, originating from different places and produced with various methods, were determined by ICP-AES technique. Its recovery ratio obtained by standard addition method ranged between 80.4% and 119.7%, and its RSD was lower than 6%. The results of the determination show that the seeds in plantago are rich in the inorganic elements such as Mg, Fe, Al and Zn essential to human health.
