Bellevalia pseudolongipes is a recently described plant species, whose mineral and biochemical composition have not yet been reported. Thus, this study examined the mineral composition and total phenolic and flavonoid contents of the B. pseudolongipes plant. Elemental analysis revealed that the plant contained high levels of calcium (22379.556 ± 025 ppm) and potassium (19721.157 ± 005 ppm). Phenolic compound analysis demonstrated a high total phenolic content (0.24 ± 0.004 mg gallic acid equivalent/g sample), thus highlighting the antioxidant capacity of the plant. Additionally, the assessment of flavonoid content (0.043 ± 0.001 mg catechin equivalent/100 g sample) indicated the potential use of the B. pseudolongipes plant as a source of antioxidants. These findings underscore the value of B. pseudolongipes as a natural resource that is rich in antioxidant, mineral, and phenolic content, while also providing a crucial foundation for researchers interested in exploring its pharmacological, medical, and industrial potential. The results of this study contribute to our understanding of the biological and health values of plants, thereby providing a useful tool for the development of products that are derived from natural sources and innovative solutions that contribute to human health.
