Abstract

 

In this study, the basic chemical contents, some trace elements, and vitamins in the shoot tips of Strophioblachia fimbricalyx Boerl. collected in Cham Island, Hoi An, Quang Nam are analyzed. In the shoot tips, protein (6.13 g/100 g fresh weight) and fiber (2.07 g/100 g fresh weight) are the highest contents, whereas the lipid content (0,10 g/100g fresh weight) is the lowest. Besides, the collected shoot tips contain iron, zinc, copper, selenium, and manganese. The trace elements with the highest concentrations are iron (5.32 mg/100 g fresh weight), selenium (14.80 µg/100 g fresh weight), and zinc (1.37 mg/100 g fresh weight). However, the vitamin C content in the shoot tips is low (1.54 mg/100 g fresh weight). They also have the beta-carotene content of 0.51 mg/100 g, which is a good source of vitamin A for the body. The results of study show that S. fimbricalyx Boerl. has high nutrient value.
