Investigation of the elemental composition of the plant Capparis spinosa by x-ray spectral analysis

Abstract

The elemental composition of the aerial part and the roots of the plant Capparis spinosa (family Capparidaceae)
were studied by x-ray spectral analysis. 9 macro- and microelements were found. Of these, potassium and calcium are found
in large quantities for the aerial part, for the roots - calcium, potassium, sulfur. In both parts of the plant in average amounts
contain sodium, magnesium, silicon; in small quantities - iron, aluminum, fluorine.
