Zusammenfassung

Der Gehalt aller wesentlichen Elemente wurde in sieben Mandelarten des Mittelmeergebietes bestimmt. Hierfür wurden die analytischen Methoden der Atomabsorption, der Colorimetrie, der Trübungsmessung und selektive Elektrodenverfahren verwendet. Die durchschnittlichen Gehalte der Makrobzw. Mikronährstoffe sind 1957 bzw. 23,2 mg/100 g Mandel. Lineare Beziehungen wurden bei den Gehalten von P and Ca, Cl and Na bzw. N und Cu gefunden.

Summary

The contents of all elements considered essential for plants were determined on seven Mediterranean almond varieties. Atomic absorption, colorimetry, turbidimetry and ion selective electrode procedures were used. The average contents of macronutrients and micronutrients in the almond were determined to be 1957 and 23.2 mg/100 g respectively. Rectilinear relationships between P and Ca, Cl and Na and N and Cu were found.
