title: [Determination of the content of mineral elements in Cistanche tubulosa from different areas].
abstract: The contents of mineral elements in Cistanche tubulosa from different areas and in the soil in which they grew were determined by ICP-AES The results showed that: (1) the contents of K, P, Ca, Mg, Na, Fe, Mn, Zn and B were rich among different samples collected in five locations. (2) the concentrations of 5 macroelements were high values, in which the content of K was the highest in different aeras. the content of Fe was higher than other microelements and specilally, the Fe content from Xinjiang sample reached to 433.56 microg x g(-1). (3) the mineral elements absorption rate of Cistanche tubulosa is different in different areas and the absorption ability of K, Na and P was higher than other elements in Cistanche tubulosa. (4) the concentrations and utilization rate of mineral elements in Cistanche tubulosa from Xinjiang was higher than other areas. The results maybe provided scientific data and suggestion for the quality control of Cistanche tubulosa.
