Abstract

The soluble water elements analysis is an important indicator of the disponible mineral elements in beverages mainly of medicinal species wich leaves are used in water infusion. That is the case of Maytenus ilicifolia (espinheira-santa), a brazilian species. The aim of this study was to determine some soluble water chemical elements levels and its percentage in espinheira-santa leaves, to define new parameters to the phytoterapic product quality control. The samples were collected from native tree communities growing under four environments with differents soils and light conditions, in May 1994, at Lapa, Paraná State, Brazil. There was determinated the total content and the soluble water fraction of K, Ca, Mg, Mn, Cu, Zn, Al e Si in leaves. The soluble water fraction in relation to the total content presented the following decreasing order of the soluble elements: K > Mg > Zn > Si > Mn > Ca > Cu > Al.
