Content of microelements in raw materials of basil (Ocimum basilicum L.), savory (Satureja hortensis, L.) and marjoram (Origanum majorana L.) collected in the different stages of plant development
Abstract.
In the herb of sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) cv. ‘Wala’, summer savory (Satureja hortensis L.) cv. ‘Saturn’ and marjoram (Origanum majorana L.) cv. ‘Miraż’ content of microelements was determined in the successive developmental stages of the plants. The microelements content in the studied herbs was represented in the following order: iron > zinc > manganese > copper. In the vegetation period, marjoram accumulated the greatest amount of iron and manganese, while basil showed the greatest amount of zinc and copper. The variable content of microelements in the raw material depended on the species and the developmental stage of plant.
Keywords: microelements, basil, savory, marjoram, plant development stage
