Abstract:
The aim of this study to measure of some metals and Phosphorous content in four
Sudanese cultivars of dates from (Dongola). The cultivars used were namely
Barakawi and Gau (hard type), Qunedil(semi soft) and Bit Tamoda (soft).The
samples were taken randomly. Calcium and Potassium contents were measured by
Flame Photometr.Magnesium and Iron contents were measured by Atomic
Absorption Spectrophotomter.Phosphorus content was measured by UV- Visible
Spectrophotometer. The results obtained were as Calcium content (9.79 to
16.87mg/100g), Potassium contents (178.1to 238.62 mg /100g), phosphorous
contents (109.0 to 198.0 mg/100g), Magnesium content (49.73 to 134.6 mg/100g)
and Iron contents (0.5 to 1.72 mg /100g).
