Abstract

Abstract: The macronutrients, trace nutrients, amino acid compositon and fatty acid composition of tree spinach grown in Chongqing were determined and compared with those previously reported for tree spinach and other vegetable species in order to understand the change in nutritional composition of tree spinach in a different eco-system and evaluate the nutritional value of tree spinach. The results indicated that tree spinach was rich in proteins, α-linolenic acid, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B6, niacin, vitamin C, potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc and manganese, while the content of sodium was low. Therefore, tree spinach is a kind of new food resource with high nutritional value.

Key words: Cnidoscolus spp., macronutrient, trace nutrient, nutritional value
