| Abstract:
In this work, the problem of our studying was to consolidate the quality of potassium in herbae organs which are mostly used as medicinal herbae raw material (drugs), all the more so the presence of potassium is often mentioned in some drugs literature, but its quality in them is not iducend. The contents of potassium in the following medicinal row materials has been determined: Agropyrum repens, Ononis spinosa, Primula veris, Betula verrucosa, Equisetum arvense, Herniaria glabra, Herniaria hirsuta, Verbascum thapsiforme, Coryllus avellana, Fragaria vesca, Pyrus communis, Hypericum perforatum, Melissa officinalis, Mentha longifolia, Mentha pulegii, Achillea millefolium, Juniperus communis, Tussilago farfara, Urtica dioica, Rosa canina, Tiliae sp., Crategi sp., Matricaria chamomilla, Mentha piperita, Rubus ideaus. The material for analysis has been collected during the period of vegetation from various dens (East Serbia, North-east Bosnia, Belgrades surroundings and Cacak). Potassium has been determined by method of photometry. The results are given in percentages in K2O from and are show in tables. The contents of potassium in tested samples varied from 0,49 to 6,90 %. | |
