Abstract: This experiment studied the mineral element of the different parts of the above-ground part of Capparis spinosa L. by flame atomic absorption spectrometry and flame spectrometer. The results showed that there are multiple rich nutrient elements in the above-ground part of Capparis spinosa. Except Cd element, the contents of heavy metals Pb and Cr are lower than the national standards of food hygiene. In one word, further investigation of its chemical components and application in food domain is worthy.

Key words: Capparis spinosa L., nutrient element, mineral element, microelement
