Objective To establish a method for the analysis of 19 kinds of metal elements in Nelumbo nucifere Gaertn. by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), and to compare and analyze the metal elements content from different areas. Methods The Nelumbo nucifere Gaertn. sample was digested by microwave, and the metal elements content was determined by ICP-MS. The metal element fingerprint was drawn, and principal component analysis was performed on the metal element content using SPSS 26.0 software. Results The fingerprint of 19 kinds of metal elements in the Nelumbo nucifere Gaertn. had certain characteristics, and the content of harmful metal elements should be of concerned. Principal component analysis identified 8 main factors and identified B, S, Ca, Mn, Fe, Zn, Sr, Sb, Ba, As, and Pb as characteristic metal elements for Nelumbo nucifere Gaertn.. The correlation of 19 kinds of metal elements with the comprehensive score value of principal component analysis that were positively correlated in decreasing order were as follows: Pb, As, Ba, Zn, Sb, Mg, Cd, K, S, B, Na, Hg, Cu, Fe, Ni, and negatively correlated correlated in decreasing order were as follows: Sr, Mn, Ca, Mo. Conclusion The method is rapid, accurate and sensitive, and can be used for the simultaneous determination of the content of various metal elements in Nelumbo nucifere Gaertn.. It provides the basis for the quality control and safety evaluation of Nelumbo nucifere Gaertn..
