不同产地的螺旋藻粉中元素含量分析

采用X射线荧光光谱分析法(XRF)测定了5个不同产地的螺旋藻粉中钾、钠、钙、镁、铁、锌、锰等元素的含量。螺旋藻含有丰富的人体所必需的矿质元素，不同产地的螺旋藻粉的主要元素谱基本相同，但各种元素的含量存在一定的差异。钾的含量最高，平均为5.00%，钠含量为0.352%，平均钠/钾比为0.070。探讨了钾、钠/钾比与螺旋藻的医疗保健作用的关系，较低的钠/钾比有利于高血压患者恢复健康。所用测定方法具有简便、快捷、准确、灵敏度高、适用元素多和含量范围广等特点。研究结果为提高螺旋藻矿质元素的品质以及进一步开发利用螺旋藻提供了新的科学依据。

Analysis of the Contents of Elements in Spirulina from Different Producing Areas

Five samples of spirulina from different producing areas were analyzed and characterized with X-ray fluorescence analysis. The contents of K, Na, Ca, Mg, Fe, Zn and Mn in spinrulina samples from different producing areas were determined. The results show that spinrulinas are rich in microelements that human body needs. The spectra of main elements of spirulina from different producing areas are similar, but the content of each elements is different. The content of K is 5.00% averagely, the highest in the five samples, the content of Na is 0.352%, and the ratio of Na/K is 0.070 on average. The relationship between K, Na/K and medical care efficiency was studied. Lesser value of Na/K is helpful to hypertension patients. It was suggested that hypertension patients should take in less Na, but more K. This can help prevent and cure hypertension. The method proves to be simple, rapid, accurate, and highly sensitive, and can be used for simultaneous multielement determination. The authors' study provides a new scientific foundation for further study and general application of spirulina.
