    This document analyzes the chemical composition of black chokeberry (Aronia melanocarpa) leaf, fruit, juice, and juice sediment. It finds that calcium is the most abundant macroelement in leaves while potassium is most abundant in fruit. Iron is the most abundant microelement in leaves and boron in fruit. The juice contains high amounts of potassium, nitrogen, and phosphorus, while iron is most abundant in the sediment. Significant sedimentation was observed for copper, while manganese and boron had lower values in the sediment. In conclusion, the study provides valuable data on the mineral composition of different parts of the black chokeberry plant.

    1. INTRODUCTION
    Black chokeberries (Aronia melanocarpa) are considered to be functional food containing high amounts of anthocyanins, phenols, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals.
    Whereas organic compounds are well studied, there is little research on the mineral composition of the chokeberries. Thus, the presented study is focused on the
    determination of N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Zn, Mn, Cu and B. Leaves, fruits, juice and juice sediment of black chokeberry (Aronia melanocarpa, cv. Nero) were analysed for
    the content of macroelements, % of DW (N, P, K, Ca, Mg) and microelements, mg/kg in DW (Fe, Zn, Mn, Cu and B).

    3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION


    In the leaf, the most abundant macroelement is Ca, and the most abundant microelement is Fe, while in the fruit the most abundant macroelement is K, and
    the most abundant microelement is B.
