APRICOTS

 

     The fruits of the apricot (Prunus armeniaca) are characterized by a significant concentration of beta-carotene (32.0% of the Daily Value [DV] per 100 g) and ascorbic acid (11.0%). Its mineral profile is notably rich in: boron (179.0% DV per 100 g), vanadium (63.0%), strontium (52.5%), magnesium (20.0%), cobalt (20.0%), silicon (17.0%), copper (14.0%), potassium (12.0%), manganese (11.0%), and molybdenum (11.0%).

 

     The nutritional profile is further distinguished by its mono- and disaccharide content (17.0% DV), within which glucose serves as the primary constituent (24.0% DV), and dietary fiber (10.0%). The fruit contains minor quantities of starch (0.7 g per 100 g) and significant quantities of sucrose (5.87 g per 100 g).

 

     The total purine base content per 100 g constitutes 6.7% of the daily allowance.

 

     The concentration of oxalic acid per 100 g is 10 mg, representing 2.5% of the maximum tolerable daily intake (for further details, see Rhubarb).

 

     It should be noted that apricot fruits exhibit a high capacity for the bioaccumulation of the toxic trace element strontium, containing 52.5% of its maximum daily allowance per 100 g.
