English. Sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides L. ssp. turkestanica) is a very important multipurpose plant in areas of Northern Pakistan. The berry of sea buckthorn is rich in nutrients and medicinal compounds such as vitamins, carotenoids, flavonoids, oil, carbohydrates, organic acids, amino acids and minerals. The chemical composition and nutritive value of sea buckthorn berries from eight populations from different areas of Northern Pakistan were compared. The concentration of vitamin C in the berries was 250-333 mg/100 g; the seed oil was 7.69-13.7%, oil in dried pulp was 19.2-29.1% and the phytosterol content of the seed oil was 3.3-5.5%; there were 0.5-25 mg/l anthocyanins in the fruit juice. Potassium (2.8-7.2 g/kg), sodium (0.065-0.8 g/kg), calcium (0.7-1.25 g/ kg), magnesium (139-240 mg/kg), iron (40-225 mg/kg) and phosphorus (110-133 mg/kg) contents were high in dried berries. Sea buckthorn berries from Pakistan are a good source of phytonutrients and minerals

La bacca di olivello spinoso è ricca di nutrienti e composti medicinali quali vitamine, carotenoidi, bioflavonoidi, olii, carboidrati, acidi organici, aminoacidi e sali minerali. Sono stati confrontati la composizione chimica e il valore nutrizionale delle bacche di olivello spinoso provenienti da otto differenti aree del Nord del Pakistan. La concentrazione di vitamina C nelle bacche è risultata di 250-333 mg/100 g; l´olio del seme è risultato il 7,69-13,7%, l´olio della polpa essiccata era il 19,2-29,1 % e il contenuto in fitosterolo dell´olio del seme era del 3,3-5,5%; gli antociani nel succo erano 0,525 mg/l. I contenuti di potassio (2,8-7,2 g/kg), sodio (0,065-0,8 g/kg), calcio (0,7-1,25 g/kg), magnesio (139-240 mg/kg), ferro (40-225 mg/kg) e fosforo (110-133 mg/kg) sono risultati alti nelle bacche essiccate. Le bacche di olivello spinoso del Pakistan sono una valida fonte di nutrienti e sali minerali
