Abstract: High performance liquid chromatogram was used to determine the amino acids contains in Zizyphus jujuba of Ruoqiang, Hami and Hena Xinzhen species. The extract contains 18 kinds of amino acids. Atomic absorption photometry assay was used to determine mineral elements(Mn, Cu, Zn, Ca, Fe, Ni, Co, K, Na, Mg)in the extract of Zizyphus jujuba. Through analysis of variance, there is no significant difference on the amino acid, microelements and macroelements contents of the three species of Zizyphus jujuba.

Key words: Zizyphus jujuba, amino acids, mineral elements, species, habit
