“…The range of concentration in mg/kg d.m. of these metallic elements is comparable to those determined by other researchers in medicinal herbs [2][3][4]12]. However, the extracted yield is different, depending on the microelement analyzed.…”

S u m m a r yIn the study, the relationships were investigated among N, P, Fe, Zn, Mn and Cu, in medicinal plant raw materials (herbal bags) and their water-soluble chemical forms in infuses. 42 independent samples of plant materials were chosen, represented by different morphological plant parts as herbs, leaves, flowers and fruits. The elements were determined by UV/Vis spectrometry (non-metals), and FAAS (metallic elements) after previous mineralization of plant samples (total concentrations), and directly in herbal teas (water-extractable forms). Most frequently the correlations between non-metals and Zn and Mn occurred, both between their total contents the water-extractable forms. Statistically significant correlations were also found in pairs: Zn-Mn, Fe-Zn, Mn-Fe, and Cu-Zn. Application of multivariate analysis revealed that cluster analysis grouped the studied samples into clusters with similar levels of the analyzed elements, and principal component analysis allowed the identification of water-extractable Zn, P-PO 4 and water-extractable Cu as the most crucial factors determining the differentiation of the studied plant samples.

“…Very few data about Hg are found in medicinal plants and values from 0.065 up to 54 µg kg -1 were reported 29,46 for Salvia officinalis and Momordica charantia, respectively. Among the samples analyzed in this work, almost all of them showed measurable amounts of this element and the concentrations varied from 2.5 to 434 µg kg -1 , in Aesculus hippocastanum and Eucalyptus globulus samples, respectively, indicating an one order of magnitude enrichment for this element, when compared to that found in foods other than fish products that, generally, varies between 1 and 50 µg kg -1 .…”

This study presents the elemental concentration results obtained from 59 medicinal plants used in Brazil, determined by instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA), inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP OES) and cold vapor atomic absorption spectrometry (CV AAS). The selected plant species were chosen from the Brazilian National Agency for Sanitary Vigilance (ANVISA) list of herbs recommended for utilization by the Public System of Health in Brazil (SUS). The results showed that high levels of foreign matter were found in almost 50% of the analyzed samples. The concentration of the elements varied in a wide range, although, generally in accordance with values found in literature. High concentrations of Ba, Cr, Fe, Hg, Se and Ni were found in some samples. The enrichment factor indicated that potentially hazardous elements can be accumulated mainly in the bark of the plants, possibly indicating an anthropogenic contribution.

“…The loss of mineral nutrition from brown rice to white rice is P > Mg > K > Cr > Ca > Sr > Zn > Fe > Mn > Mo > Sn > Ni (See Table 1), according to a calculation of 198.7 million tons of Chinese rice yield as well as, 697.9 million tons of global rice yield in 2010 based on Zeng et al (2009a,b). Some elements (Cr, V, Rb, Cs, Se, Zn, Fe, Ni, Co, Mn, Cu, and Mg) have shown to play a role in DM (Choudhury et al, 2008;Kazi et al, 2008;Liu et al, 2000), especially Cr associated with T2DM, and gestational diabetes patients require more than 200 µg daily of supplemental Cr (Anderson, 1998;Anderson et al 2011;Polansky and Bryden, 2011). Magnesium (Mg) is involved in the interaction of more than 300 enzyme reactions in the body; Mg intake was inversely longitudinally associated with incidence of DM in young American adults .…”
