Objective:To establish a method for determination of nine elements of Ca, Mg, Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, Al, Sr, Sn and Pb in the kernels of Prunus mongolica. Method: The samples were digested by nitric acid and perchloric acid. The content of nine elements in the kernels of P. mongolica was determined by ICP-AES, a blank experiment was made at the same time. Result: The results showed that the linear relationship was good and the correlation coefficients were all greater than 0.999, and the detection limits was between 0.000 7-0.089 μg·g-1. The recovery rate of ten elements was between 93% and 110%, and the relative standard deviation was between 0.30% and 1.69%. Conclusion: This method is fast, simple and accurate. It can provide a scientific basis for the comprehensive utilization of resources.
