Sixteen minerals were quantitated in the nutmeats of 10 pecan cultivars (Caryu illinoensis Wang) with atomic absorption and emission spectra scopy. Significant difference (P < 0.01) existed among cultivars in the quantities of Cu, Fe, CR, Mn, B, Zn, Ba, P, K and Ca. Differences were not significant at the 5% level in the quantities of Co, MO, Sr, Na, Al and Mg.
