Abstract
Stinging nettle is a perennial plant from the Urticaceae botanical family. Apart from various biologically active compounds with health-promoting properties, it contains large amounts of titanium, which plays a key role in growing plants. This work focuses on the determination of titanium content in leaves of stinging nettle by adsorptive stripping voltammetry. For this purpose, dry leaves of stinging nettle from three different producers were used to obtain extracts using high pressure microwave-assisted mineralization. The obtained results confirm the satisfactory accuracy of the developed voltammetric procedure and its usefulness for determining this kind of real samples.
