Abstract

Flowering peach trees, whose flowers have not be used and result in lot of waste of resources. This paper detected 18 kinds of amino acids and eight trace elements to provide data support for resource utilization of flowering peach blossom. Results showed that two amino acids (Asp and Pro) were higher than 2.0%, Glu, Lys, Leu, Ala and Val were more than 1.0% in flowers of flowering peach, especially Pro was the highest. Flowers of flowering peach contain many kinds of mineral elements, Mg, Ca, K and Mn were very high, which is beneficial for human health. All these data proved that flowers of flowering peach have high value as foods.
