TI  - Determination of the Nutritional Element Concentrations of Evelik Plant (Rumex crispus L.)
AB  - Evelik plant (Rumex crispus L.), which is also known as Labada plant, is a perennial herbaceous plant specie belonging to Polygonaceae family that are mostly a meter in length. Rumex species have a distribution in the Northern hemisphere and have more than 100 species. In Turkey, 24 Rumex species are present. Evelik leaves are used frequently in the Anatolia for the preparation of stuffed wraps. Additionally, it is one of the oldest plants known to be used for herbal remedies. It is believed that this plant is especially potent in gastrointestinal illnesses. Evelik leaves, but especially the roots are used for drugs in medicine. In the present study, determination of macro and micro nutritional elements was aimed in Evelik leaves sampled from naturally grown plants in Sivas province. Phosphor (P) was determined calorimetrically at 882 nm by using spectrophotometer. Potassium (K), Iron (Fe), Manganese (Mn), Zinc (Zn), and Copper (Cu) were determined by using Atomic absorbtion spectrometry. Nitrogen (N) was determined by using Kjeldahl distillation method. Results revealed that the element concentrations determined in Evelik leaves were N (2.59 %); P (0.360 %); K (6.85 %); Mg (0.66 %); Ca (0.48 %); Fe (225.8 mg/kg); Zn (27.5 mg/kg); Mn (30.4 mg/kg); Cu (8.9 mg/kg). In conclusion, it was revealed that the Evelik leaves are sufficient for both macro and micro nutritional elements and have a higher K concentration.
