Abstract

This study was conducted to determine nutrient
content and macro-micro elements of mallow species consumed as vegetables in
Central Black Sea Region. Survey and field studies were carried out in Samsun,
Amasya, Ordu and Tokat provinces. In the survey studies, two species were
identified in 30 mallow samples as Malvella
sherardiana (8 materials), Malva
neglecta (22 materials). Although mallow species showed similar values in
terms of nutrient content and macro-micro elements, M. sherardiana was found to be higher. In the research, the highest
amount of dry matter (20.9%), ash content (18.2%), N (3.2%) and protein contents
(20.1%) in M. sherardiana and the
highest vitamin C in M. neglecta (83.5
mg 100g^-1) were determined. Mineral
analysis showed that M. sherardiana
contained considerably high amounts of potassium (3660.8 mg 100g^-1), phosphorus (701.7 mg 100g^-1), calcium (1730.0 mg 100g^-1), magnesium (416.1 mg 100g^-1), iron (22.4 mg 100g^-1), sodium (687.7 mg 100g^-1), copper (9.7 mg 100g^-1), manganese (5.3 mg 100g^-1) and zinc (10.1 mg 100g^-1). In the research, Mallow was found to be sufficient for
human health with high protein, vitamin C and rich mineral content.
