Mineral contents were determined by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry. Moisture, crude oil, crude fiber, crude ash, crude protein, water-soluble and alcohol-soluble extract, pH and acidity values of samples were determined. Both plants contained high amounts of crude ash, crude fiber and water-soluble extract. According to results, aluminum, calcium, iron, potassium, magnesium, sodium, phosphorus and zinc values were very high in both samples. The levels of calcium (4,248.58 mg/kg), potassium (60,613.03 mg/kg) and phosphorus (5,827.71 mg/kg) of P ferulacea in this work were found to be higher than those of other location plants (R. ribes). Potassium ranged from 32,730.82 mg/kg R. ribes (Elazig sample) to 60,613.03 mg/kg P. ferulacea (Agri sample). The iron content ranged from 56.11 mg/kg R. ribes (Agri sample) to 147.01 mg/kg R. ribes (Elazig sample). This work contributed to the nutritional properties of these plant species, and the information may be useful for the evaluation of dietary information.en10.1080/09637480601154145info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessedible wild plantchemical compositionmineral contentsinductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometryArticle58216216717469771Q1WOS:000244150200008Q3
