Total mineral content, after samples mineralization, were analyzed by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). Domestic fruit (raspberry, cherry, red plum, grape, aronia, red currant, black currant) from the Pešter Plateau in the Republic of Serbia, was selected for investigation. The results showed that aronia is the richest in the Se content, while sour cherries are the poorest. However, sour cherries were abundant in the content of other essential microelements. Zn was the least abundant in grapes, while Cu, Fe, and Cr were the least abundant in red plum. As far as macroelements are concerned, it turned out that aronia was the richest in Na and Mg, while blackcurrant was abundant in the content of K, Ca, and P. According to the K content, it was observed that his amount in sour cherries are the least. The lowest content of all other examined macroelements was observed in the grape.
