Abstract

Elemental composition of different components of white lupine seeds was analyzed. White lupine varieties Gamma, Dega, and Deter 1 were cultivated in 2009–2011 in the northeastern part of the Central Black Earth Region. Concentrations of 19 elements were determined at the Belgorodsky State Center for Agrochemical Service. White lupine intensely consumes chemical elements, which determines the unique chemical composition of its seeds that contain significantly higher amounts of many chemical elements whose content in livestock and poultry rations is standardized compared to seeds of other leguminous crops. White lupine acts as a manganese concentrator. The following elements are accumulated in its seeds in significant amounts: nitrogen (6.82 ± 0.25%), phosphorus (0.45 ± 0.07%), potassium (1.37 ± 0.17%), magnesium (0.17 ± 0.02%), sulfur (0.31 ± 0.02%), iron (41.85 ± 1.36 mg/kg), zinc (48.55 ± 4.33 mg/kg), manganese (390.70 ± 181.57 mg/kg), cobalt (0.82 ± 0.19 mg/kg), and molybdenum (6.80 ± 0.67 mg/kg); the above-listed elements are primarily concentrated in the seed kernel. The seed coat contains higher amounts of calcium (0.35 ± 0.02%), sodium (0.240 ± 0.006%), chromium (0.329 ± 0.049 mg/kg), lead (0.60 ± 0.04 mg/kg), cadmium (0.061 ± 0.003 mg/kg), and arsenic (0.024 ± 0.002) compared to the kernel. Deep processing of lupine seeds involving their separation into kernel and coat can be used to increase or reduce concentrations of certain chemical elements. The range of variability in the content of chemical elements increases as their concentrations grow. In the analyzed samples, the content of lead, cadmium, arsenic, and mercury was lower than their maximum permissible concentrations set for fodder white lupine seeds. The obtained results are important for the production of compound feeds and protein concentrates; they can be used as statistical materials in the development of livestock-, poultry-, and fish-feeding programs to identify standard concentrations of chemical elements in white lupine seeds and their components.
