“…Fourteen Pb 0.3 mg/kg and Cd 0.1 mg/kg and were detected in tea (prepared from 0.5 g rose hip in 25 mL water for 30 min at 95°C) in percentages of 6%, 72%, 14%, 4%, 20%, 28%, 60%, 25%, 52%, 25%, 66%, 27% and not dectectable, respectively (Basgel and Erdemoglu, 2006). Chen and Spiro (1993) determined the concentrations of nine inorganic and organic cations and anions by ion chromatography in a German rose hip tea. The major cation present was potassium (1.16%) followed by calcium (0.6%), sulphate (0.21%), sodium (0.18%) and magnesium (0.15%).…”
