MANGO The fruits of the mango (Mangifera indica) possess a high concentration of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) (45.8% of the Daily Value [DV] per 100 g), folate (folic acid) (21.5%), and beta-carotene (18.3%). The primary constituents of the mineral profile are: silicon (105.0% DV per 100 g), boron (30.6%), rubidium (23.2%), and copper…
The concentration of ultramicroelements, also called nanoelements, in the body is very small (less than 20 μg). However, these elements, like trace elements, are part of enzyme systems as coenzymes (activators and catalysts of biochemical processes).Ultramicroelements (or nanoelements) include elements whose concentration: 10–6–10–12%, daily intake does not exceed 20 mcg.ULTRAMICROELEMENTS – beryllium, bismuth, tungsten, gallium,…
Germanium (Ge) Antioxidant and antihypoxant. Germanium is a trace element that boosts the immune system, fights cancer, and reduces pain in the human body. The daily requirement for the human body is 0.4–1.5 mg. Germanium is well absorbed by the body (about…
The concentration of trace elements in the body is small (less than 20 μg). Despite the low need, these elements are part of enzyme systems as coenzymes (activators and catalysts of biochemical processes).Trace elements include elements whose concentration is 10–3–10–5%, the daily intake is 20 μg–20 mg.The group of MICROELEMENTS includes: aluminum, barium, boron, bromine,…
MACROELEMENTS are contained in the human body in fairly large quantities, from several grams to hundreds of grams.Macroelements include mineral elements, the concentration of which in the body is 10–1–10–2%, and the daily intake is more than 20 mg.They are part of the main tissues – bones, blood, muscles.Macroelements are potassium, calcium, silicon, magnesium, sodium,…
CHAMPIGNONS Champignons (Agaricus bisporus) exhibit a substantial mineral profile, containing significant concentrations of: cobalt (121.0% of the Daily Value [DV] per 100 g), copper (43.5%), selenium (26.2%), rubidium (26.0%), chromium (22.8%), potassium (21.2%), and iodine (12.0%). Their vitamin profile is also robust, notably including pantothenic acid (42.0% DV), biotin (32.0%), riboflavin (22.5%), nicotinic…
BUTTER MUSHROOMS Butter mushrooms (Suillus spp.) exhibit a rich vitamin profile, notably: nicotinic acid (vitamin PP) (33.0% of the Daily Value [DV] per 100 g), ergocalciferol (vitamin D2) (26.0%), pyridoxine (15.0%), and riboflavin (14.3%). They are also characterized by a significant concentration of mineral elements: rubidium (225.8% DV per 100 g), copper…
OYSTER MUSHROOMS Oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus) are characterized by a high concentration of pantothenic acid (25.8% of the Daily Value [DV] per 100 g), nicotinic acid (24.8%), biotin (22.1%), riboflavin (17.5%), ergocalciferol (vitamin D2) (14.0%), and folate (9.5%). The mineral profile includes significant levels of: boron (63.6% DV per 100 g), chromium…
RHUBARB (stalks) Rhubarb (stalks) contains few vitamins, except for vitamin K (phylloquinone) (24.4% of the daily requirement in 100 g) and vitamin C (ascorbic acid) (21.4%). The main minerals are silicon (40.7%), calcium (17.9%), vanadium (17.3%), nickel (12.8%), potassium (11.6%), manganese (10.6%), and chromium (7.9%). Rhubarb stalks contain quite a…
PATTYPAN SQUASH Pattypan squash exhibits a chemical composition homologous to that of zucchini, as both taxa belong to the same species: zucchini is a subspecies of the common pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo ssp. pepo), while pattypan squash is a variety (Cucurbita pepo var. patisson or Cucurbita pepo var. patisoniana). Pattypan squash is characterized by…
