The present study aims to determine selected elements in fresh citrus juice by Flame Photometer and Atomic Absorption Spectrometer. The elements potassium, sodium (macronutrient), copper and iron (micronutrient) were analyzed in five different species of citrus fruits juice. The fruits used in study were of Citrus limon, Citrus sinensis, Citrus paradise, Citrus limetta and Citrus nobilis. The entire samples were collected from local market of Raipur, Chhattisgarh. Potassium is the most abundant element reported in the fruits followed by Na, Fe then Cu. The highest content of potassium, sodium and iron was reported in C. nobilis and the lowest level was observed in C. limon. While the value of copper was observed highest in C. limon. The calculated potassium to sodium ratio was as follows C. limetta > C. nobilis > C. simesis > C. paradisi > C. limon. It can be concluded that C. nobilis is the fruit having highest iron, sodium and potassium concentration, while highest potassium to sodium ratio was observed for C. limetta and C. nobilis so they can be considered best amongst the analyzed fruits for the patients of hypertension. The presence of mineral elements like sodium, potassium, copper and iron in these fruits makes them important and considerable sources of nutrient supplements to the public.
