QUINCE
The fruits of the quince (
Cydonia oblonga)
possess a high concentration of ascorbic acid (21.0% of the Daily Value [DV] per 100 g) and
choline (vitamin B4) (17.0%). The
mineral profile is characterized by a significant concentration of multiple elements: boron (249.0% DV per 100 g),
rubidium (55.0%),
vanadium (50.0%),
chromium (39.0%),
cobalt (33.0%),
strontium (21.4%),
silicon (18.0%),
iron (17.0%),
copper (16.0%), and
iodine (10.0%).
The nutritional matrix includes a substantial mono- and disaccharide fraction (15.2% DV), within which glucose serves as the primary sugar (21.4% DV). Furthermore, the fruit contains galactose (74.3% DV) and is rich in dietary fiber (18.0%). Quince fruits contain starch (2.0 g per 100 g) and minor quantities of sucrose (0.64 g).
The total purine base content per 100 g constitutes 5.0% of the daily allowance.
It should be noted that quince fruits exhibit a capacity for the bioaccumulation of the toxic trace element strontium, containing
21.4% of its maximum daily allowance per 100 g.
