“…Os valores encontrados por Iqbal et al (2006) para cálcio (176 mg.100 g -1 ), manganês (1,7 mg.100 g -1 ) e zinco (5,1 mg.100 g -1 ) foram próximos aos obtidos neste estudo. Cabrera et al (2003) encontraram níveis de zinco em diversas leguminosas de 3,3 a 7,0 mg.100 g -1 . A concentração de sódio não é apreciável no feijão caupi (IQBAL et al, 2006).…”

O feijão caupi (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp.), comumente chamado de feijão de corda ou feijão macassar, é um alimento básico para as populações de baixa renda do Nordeste brasileiro. Constitui-se uma das principais culturas alimentares desta região e também do Oeste da África (ONWULIRI; OBU, 2002). Dentre os diferentes produtos agrícolas encontrados nas regiões tropicais, o caupi se destaca pelo alto valor nutritivo, além do baixo custo de produção. É amplamente cultivado pelos pequenos produtores, constituindo um dos principais componentes da dieta alimentar, especialmente na zona rural (EMBRAPA MEIO NORTE, 2003).Em termos mundiais, a área ocupada com feijão caupi é de cerca de 12,5 milhões de ha, com 8 milhões (64% da área mundial) na parte oeste e central da África e o restante nas Américas do Sul e Central, e na Ásia. Os principais produtores mundiais são Nigéria, Niger e Brasil (QUIN, 1997).No Brasil, o feijão caupi é cultivado predominantemente no sertão semi-árido da região Nordeste e em pequenas áreas na Amazônia (MAIA, 1996). No Nordeste, a produção e a produtividade são de 429.375 toneladas e 303,5 kg.ha -1 , respectivamente. Os maiores produtores são os Estados do Ceará, Piauí, Bahia e Maranhão, os quais também apresentam as maiores áreas plantadas (IBGE, 2001). A produção dos grãos, secos ou verdes, é destinada principalmente para o consumo humano in natura, na forma de conserva ou desidratado (EMBRAPA MEIO NORTE, 2003).Esta leguminosa constitui importante fonte de proteínas (23 a 25% em média) e carboidratos, destacando-se pelo alto AbstractCowpea is one of the major food cultures of the northeastern region of Brazil. To improve its resistance against plagues and to increase its productivity, a new cultivar (BRS-Milênio) was obtained by genetic improvement. This study aimed at determining the proximate composition, amino acid and fatty acid profiles, mineral constituents and trypsin inhibitory activity of this cultivar. The seed presents (g.100 g -1 ): 24.5 protein, 51.4 carbohydrates, 16.6 insoluble fiber and 2.7 soluble fiber, 2.6 ash; major mineral constituents (mg.100 g -1 ) were: iron -6.8, zinc -4.1, manganese -1.5, phosphorus -510.0 and potassium -1430.0. Lipid content was 2.2%, and its fatty acids profile: 29.4% saturated and 70.7% unsaturated. The caloric value was estimated as 323.4 kcal.100 g -1 of seeds. A low trypsin inhibitory activity was found (8.0 TIU.mg -1 of sample). The amino acid profile is in accordance with the reference amino acid standard, except for the sulfur amino acid deficiency, suggesting the need to encourage the combination of this bean with other food sources. Results suggest that cowpea presents high contents of energy, protein, dietary fiber, minerals and a low trypsin inhibitory activity. Although it contains low amounts of lipids, its composition presents a high unsaturated fatty acid profile.

“…They are also fairly good sources of vitamins (thiamin, niacin) and minerals (Ca, Mg, P, Fe, Zn, Cu). Cabrera et al (2003) reported that in leguminous grains the levels of microelements (in mg/100 g) ranged from 0.15-0.5 for Cu, 1.88-8.24 for Fe and 3.26-7.02 for Zn. Anwar et al (2007) Nuts are nutrient-dense foods with complex matrices rich in unsaturated fatty acids and other bioactive compounds, such as L-arginine, dietary fiber, minerals, tocopherols, phytosterols and polyphenols.…”

“…almond (Prunus dulcus), brazil nut (Bertholletia excelsa), pecan (Carya pecan), macadamia (Macadamia integrifolia) and walnut (Juglans nigra) that are consumed in South African households were investigated by Moodley et al (2007). Cabrera et al (2003) reported that the levels of Cu, Fe and Zn in nuts (in mg/ 100 g) were as follows: 0.4-2.56, 0.73-7.56 and 2.56-6.90, respectively. Caglarirmak (2003) determined the concentrations of minerals in some walnut genotypes (Juglans regia L.) commonly grown in Turkey.…”

“…This technique (WDXRF) is widely used to detect the elements in algae, in tea [17], milk-based products [18], in spices [14], of some plants used as condiments (Ӧzcan, 2004) [19], in medicinal plants [8,20], mineral composition of ten commercially available teas [21], and in potato starch by Noda et al, 2006 [22]. Previously, the mineral content in milk based products [23], in yoghurt [24], in legumes and nuts [25] and in some essential oils [26] was also estimated. Quantitative analysis of eighteen elements was performed using WDXRF technique in plant species [27].…”

Ojective: This study is undertaken to identify the total mineral content of both the cytotypes from different plant parts, i.e., fruit, leaf, stem, and roots.Method: Wavelength dispersion X-ray fluorescence technique is a simple method, recognized as a nondestructive technique to determine the elements from the raw plant material without any chemical treatment and helps to ascertain the nutritional role. Result:The analysis of mineral content led to the identification and concentration analysis of twenty-seven elements in diploid cytotype and twentyfive in tetraploid cytotype. The percentage value of potassium (5.52%); iron (0.50%) and selenium (0.0042%) is reported to be higher in diploid cytotype and the amount of calcium (2.15%); magnesium (0.75%) and zinc (0.0075%) are higher in tetraploid cytotype.

Conclusion:The amount of most of the minerals is higher in tetraploid cytotype as compared to the diploid cytotype. This information is very helpful in standardization of herbal products as this plant species is widely used for its medicinal benefits. Tnt of calcium (2.15%); magnesium (0.75%) and zinc (0.0075%) are higher in tetraploid cytotype..
