[Investigation of the contents of essential elements in nuts, almonds and dry fruits].
Concentrations of Ca, P, Fe, Zn, Cu and Mn were determined in nuts, almonds as well as in dry fruits available on Polish market. The contents of minerals in 100 g of nuts were as follows: 55.8-261 mg Ca; 294-724 mg P; 1.11-3.06 mg Fe; 2.05-4.98 mg Zn; 0.5-1.38 mg Cu and 0.93-5.75 mg Mn. Among the analysed dry fruits, the greatest concentrations of calcium, phosphorus, zinc and cooper were recorded for figs, while apricots contained the highest levels of iron and manganese. Based on the data obtained it was possible to estimate the realization of the recommended daily intake of essential elements with the 100 g portion of analysed products for an adult person.
