This diploma thesis deals with the elemental analysis of soft fruit species such as currants and gooseberries. The theoretical part contains botanical description of both species, then description of nutritional properties of the individual analyzed elements and ends with a list of analytical methods suitable for elemental analysis in the food science and with a description of preparation. The experimental part deals with sample preparation and its analysis afterwards with spectroscopic techniques. Samples of different varieties of gooseberries, black, red and white currant from “Výzkumný a šlechtitelský ústav ovocnářský v Holovousích, s.r.o.” have been used for the analysis. Samples were mineralized in concentrated HNO3 and analyzed by ICP-OES technique. Difference in resultant concentrations of the analyzed elements (Ca, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Na, P, Zn) between individual varieties were statistically compared by Tukey’s multiple comparison method and results achieved have been as well compared with the results reported in available literature.
