A practical and economical capillary ion electrophoresis method with indirect UV detection at 214 nm was developed for determination of inorganic cations in plants of Ilex paraguariensis (St. H.) and their infusion known as mate tea, a very popular beverage in South America. A microwave digestion procedure was used to prepare the herbal plants, but the infusion was only diluted. The background electrolyte contained 6mM imidazole and 10mM α-hydroxyisobutyric acid, pH 4.0. The running voltage was 20 kV and temperature was 25°C. K, Na, Ca, Mg, and Mn ions were quantitated, and linearity was demonstrated between 0.6 and 120 ppm. The results were in good agreement with those obtained by flame atomic absorption and emission spectrometry. Accuracy of the method was verified by comparison with Beech leaves CRM 100, a standard reference material. The high content of minerals and several oligoelements, especially Mn in mate tea, is considered to be of nutritional interest.
