exploring potassium in tomatoes and cucumis melo through atomic absorption spectroscopy: a scientific insight

Objective: among the numerous plant mineral supplements, potassium (k) projects as a cation showing the most grounded impact on quality properties that discourage- mine natural product attractiveness, customer inclination, and the concentration of fundamentally imperative human-health related phytonutrients. be that as it may, numerous plant, soil, and natural variables frequently restrain satisfactory take-up of k from the soil in adequate sums to fulfill natural product k necessities amid advancement to optimize the previously mentioned quality traits. methods: in this study, the atomic absorption method was used to check the total amount of potassium in tomatoes and melons. first, the plant sample was collected in spring (2021-2022) in ilam city and dried in the shade, then it was prepared and the amount of potassium was measured by an atomic absorption device.results: the results showed that the amount of potassium in tomatoes and cucumis melo were about 330 and 352 mg/100gr, respectively.conclusion: atomic absorption spectroscopy opens a scientific window into the potassium content of tomatoes and cucumis melo, offering precise measurements and valuable insights. by bridging the gap between scientific analysis and nutritional awareness, this exploration enhances our appreciation for tomatoes and cucumis melo not only a culinary delight but also a rich source of essential minerals.
