Abstract

ABSTRACT: Centaurea karduchorum Boiss. belonged to the Asteraceae (Compositae) which is
represented by 1100 genera and about 25000 species in the world. It has a total
1209 species in the flora of Turkey. In terms of the number of species, Asteracea family is the richest family
in our country. The genetic origin of Centaurea
genus is turkey which this genus is quite common. This plant used as digestion,
diuretic, antipyretic, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial. Centaurea karduchorum Boiss species
spread naturally in the Van lake in the Eastern Anatolia Region of Turkey and
is a perennial endemic species. The leaves are consumed as herbal tea by the
local people for the treatment of diabetes.

In this study, the nutritional
values and mineral compositions of Centaurea
karduchorum Boiss which grown as wild plants in the Van region of Eastern
Anatolia, Turkey were examined. The chemical characters estimated included as
N, Na, Mg, K, Ca, P, S, Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, Cr, Cd, Co as well as total ash, crude
protein, crude fiber and pH. A a result of the research, ash content, nitrogen content,
crude protein content, pH and  crude
fiber were obtained as 5.93 %, 1.75 %, 10.93 %, 6.66 and 32.58 %, respectively.
Also, the detected some chemical components values were as follows: Potassium
content 5.57 g/ phosphorus 1.18 g/kg, magnesium 5.71 g/kg, sulphur 1.12 g/kg,
manganese 79.56 mg/kg, zinc 15.18 mg/kg and iron 583.56 mg/kg.

Keywords
