Element composition of extracts of common spruce cones

Abstract

Trace elements are an integral part of any plant and animal organism.The pharmacological effect of herbal raw materials is due not only to the main active substance, but also to the chemical elements that make up herbal medicinal preparations. Previously, studies were carried out on the wood composition, as well as the polysaccharide complex from spruce cones [1], [2]. The object of this study are common spruce cones harvested on the territory of the Ilyinsky district, Perm Region. The determination of the qualitative and quantitative composition of elements in extracts of common spruce cones was carried out on the X-ray fluorescence QUANT’X spectrometer from Thermo Scientific. The results obtained by the authors demonstrate the content of microelements and ultramicroelements of a fractional extract from the raw material of the studied plant.
