Abstract:The chemical composition of Chinese fir seeds from different geographic distribution sites and with the germination rate over 35% was studied. The results showed that the content of soluble carbohydrate, coarse protein, fat, and starch in the seeds was 40~70gkg-1,150~160gkg-1,230~260gkg-1,60~80gkg-1,respectively. The content of N was the highest among the macroelements, wiich was 24~26gkg-1.The order of the microelement contents in the seeds was Mn>Fe>Zn>Cu>Ni>Pd>Cd. The results may provide a scientific basis for the quality identification of Chinese fir seeds.
