Annotation
This article presents the results of a study on the quantitative content of macro- and microelements in the flowers of Elaeagnus angustifolia L. (Russian olive). The aim of the study was to identify the biologically active compounds present in the flowers, evaluate their chemical composition, and provide a scientific basis for the prospective use of this plant material in the pharmaceutical, phytotherapeutic, cosmetic, and food industries. Elemental composition was determined using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP–OES). ICP–OES analysis demonstrated a predominance of potassium (19,953.4 mg/kg), phosphorus (5,227.8 mg/kg), calcium (4,798.8 mg/kg), sodium (2,076.0 mg/kg), and magnesium (1,784.3 mg/kg), together with lower concentrations of other mineral elements, including aluminium (133.2 mg/kg). The concentration of heavy metal ions in the flowers of Elaeagnus angustifolia L. is unevenly distributed. It was established that the Cu content is 3.31 times lower than that of zinc (Zn), 2 times lower than that of manganese (Mn), and 3.1 times higher than that of lead (Pb). Among the analyzed heavy metal ions, zinc has the highest concentration, accounting for 53% of the total amount. The obtained results demonstrate that E. angustifolia L. flowers contain a diverse volatile fraction accompanied by a substantial mineral-element profile.
