Abstract

Increasing evidence shows that Rheum ribes bark exhibits therapeutic and pharmacological effects. Therefore, we determined the total phenolic and flavonoid content and performed elemental analysis of R. ribes bark using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The results indicated a phenolic content of 0,61 ± 0,001 mg gallic acid-equivalent/g sample and a flavonoid content of 0,327 ± 0,026 mg catechin-equivalent/100 g sample. Elemental analysis of R. ribes bark revealed the presence of numerous essential elements, including Fe, K, Ca, Na, Al, and Mg. Our results show that R. ribes bark contains high levels of phenolic and flavonoid compounds and is a source of various important elements. Consequently, it may offer health benefits and might prove to be a valuable resource for the pharmaceutical and food industries.
