AB  - The present work determined complete mineral profile of four different types of grains 
(spelt, soybean, maize, and buckwheat) grown under two growing systems – conventional 
and organic. The contents of 20 macro-, micro- and trace elements were analysed in the 
examined grains by inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). 
In most samples, nine elements were present in concentrations higher than 10 mg/kg. The 
remaining elements were present at lower concentrations or in traces or not detected in 
certain samples. Aluminium and arsenic, as two toxic elements, were detected only in 
organic buckwheat grains. Based on the obtained results for the mineral contents, a nutritive 
assessment of the quality of grains of spelt, soybean, maize, and buckwheat were made.
Results of nutritional assessment showed that spelt, soybean, and buckwheat grains could 
potentially be good sources of several minerals for human diet. On the other hand, the 
presence of some toxic elements, such as cadmium and strontium, should be monitored. 
Results of principal component analysis (PCA) and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) 
shown that the mineral composition, to a much greater extent, depended on the botanical 
origin of grains as compared to the production system.
