Data on elemental composition of the medicinal plant Hymenaea martiana Hayne (Jatobá)

Abstract

This data article provides elemental compositions profile, determined by inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP OES), of the medicinal plant Hymeneaea martiana Hayne which belongs of the family Fabaceae (Leguminosae).It is a tree that demonstrates medicinal purposes as antioxidant, immunomodulatory (Boniface et al., 2017) [1], microbial, antiviral, hepatoprotective, gastroprotective (Almeida et al., 2012) [2] and antifungal (Souza et al., 2010) [3].The content of 13 elements (Al, Ca, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Na, Ni, P, S and Zn) in the barks, leaves, tea leaves and bark tea were detected. Data on the cataloging of the plant can be found in the deposit number 64779 of Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul herbarium, available in www.splink.org.br/form?lang=pt&collectioncode=CGMS.

The Hazardous Level of Heavy Metals in Different Medicinal Plants and Their Decoctions in Water: A Public Health Problem in Brazil

“…e digestion was performed by adding 3.0 mL of HNO 3 (65%; Merck), 1.0 mL of high-purity water (18 MΩ·cm; Milli-Q, Millipore, Bedford, MA, USA), and 2.0 mL of H 2 O 2 (35%; Merck) to the sample. All vessels with the samples of plants were placed in the microwave digestion system (Speedwave 4-Microwave Digestion System; BER-GHOF Products + Instruments GmbH), according to the digestion program instruction depicted in Table 1 [23,24]. e microwave oven heating program was carried out in three steps.…”

“…Recent methodology of microwave digestion for plant teas is given in Ref. [23,24]. As an experimental quality control to the methodologies, each tablespoon corresponds to 10 g of the powder sample.…”

Data on ICP OES and emulsion stability of Bredemeyera floribunda root extract: Medicinal plant used by the Brazilian rural population to treat snakebites

“…Subsequently, the dried samples were crushed and sieved (stainless steel sieve, 200 μm granulometry). Approximately an amount of 0.25 g roots of B. floribunda was digested with 3.0 mL of HNO 3 (65%, Merck), 1.0 mL of high-purity water (18 MΩ cm, Milli-Q, Millipore, Bedford, MA, USA) and 2.0 mL of H 2 O 2 (35%, Merck) in microwave digestion system (Speedwave four, Berghof, Eningen, BW, Germany), according to the digestion program presented in Table 4 [1] . The resulting solutions were cooled and diluted to 30 mL with high-purity water.…”
