Comparative study of the elemental composition of the feverfew cultivars ‘Phlora Pleno’ and ‘White Gem’

Abstract

The article presents a comparative redearch on the elemental composition of the herb of the feverfew cultivars – ‘Phlora Pleno’ and ‘White Gem’. As a result, it was found that the main dominant elements in the raw materials of both cultivars are potassium, calcium, silicon, magnesium, aluminum and iron. ‘Phlora Pleno’ had a higher total content of all elements compared to ‘White Gem’. Given the widely represented elemental composition of the feverfew cultivars, they can be used as an additional source of macro-and microelements in the ceation on the herbal medicines and food additives.
