Mineral Composition of Fruit in Black and Red Currant
نویسندگان
چکیده
Black currants (Ribes nigrum) and red currants (Ribes rubrum) are highly appreciated for the food and therapeutic value of their fruits. Mineral composition was determined in eight black currants cultivars (‘Record’, ‘Bogatar’, ‘Deea’, ‘Abanos’, ‘Blackdown’, ‘Ronix’, ‘Tinker’, ‘Tenah’) and three red currants cultivars (‘Rosu timpuriu’, ‘Abundent’, ‘Houghton Castle’). For both species analyzed, the results indicated significant differences between cultivars (P < 0.05). The order of nutritive elements, depending on their content / 100 g of fruits, was: K > Ca > Mg > Fe > Al > Na > Mn > B > Cu. Mineral composition varies by cultivar and currant consumption can cover the required amount of mineral elements in a wellbalanced diet.
