Abstract

Introduction. Medicinal plants are currently of increased interest. However, the deterioration of the environmental situation significantly complicates the conduct of resource research. At the same time, some types of medicinal plant raw materials can be natural concentrators of elements, which makes it possible to use herb as natural sources of essential minerals. One of these types of raw materials is herbs of red clover and medium clover.

Objective: Study of the elemental composition of meadow clover and medium clover herbs collected in two districts of the Moscow region.

Material and methods. Trace elements were determined using an inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometer (ICP-AES) Avio 200 by Perkin Elmer, normalized heavy metals using an atomic absorption spectrometer with electrothermal atomization (ETAAS).

Results. 10 trace elements were determined in the studied samples: of these, the content of Al, B, Ba, Fe, Mn, Sr, Zn is on average at the level of 10-3 %, Ca, Mg, K, P, S at the level of 0.2-1.0 %. The content of Ag, Be, Bi, Co, Cr, Cu, Li, Mo, Ni, Sb, Sn, Ti, V, Zr was at the detection limit and didn’t exceed 10-4 %, Cd, Pb, As, Hg were not detected in the analyzed samples.

Conclusion. It was found that the analyzed samples have a similar elemental composition. Taldomsky and Losino-Petrovsky districts of the Moscow region can be considered as potential places for collecting raw materials. However, the studied herb cannot be considered as a potential source of trace elements.
