Sažetak
The objective of this work was to determine the contents of selected toxic and essential ultra-trace elements in fruits of service tree (Sorbus domestica L.) depending on maturity state. These elements were furthermore quantified in the leaves and bark of the trees in order to investigate their accumulation pattern. All samples were dried and digested using an acidic microwave assisted digestion system prior to quantification by inductively coupled plasma – mass spectrometry. The elements chosen were Arsenic and Cadmium as well as Lithium, Molybdenum, and Selenium. The Arsenic content rose with maturity in peel as well as mesocarp. Cadmium found in the mesocarp was unaffected by ripeness, its content in the peel was below the limit of detection of all three ripeness states. For Lithium and Molybdenum no statistical significant effect of ripeness could be found on their content neither in peel nor in mesocarp. Selenium could not be detected in the majority of fruit samples, thus no conclusion could be drawn on the dependency on ripeness.
