“…Macro, micro, and trace elements are known to be essential in plant biological activities and human metabolic reactions. Furthermore, trace elements are vital in the production of bioactive chemical compounds in medicinal herb plants, and are hence responsible for their therapeutic and poisonous characteristics 10,11 .…”

Glinus oppositifolius (L) is a medicinal plant as well as edible leafy vegetables that has long been utilized for its therapeutic effects. The goal of this work is to use Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy to determine trace elements in Glinus oppositifolius (L). Acid digestion was used as a flexible method and all elements were determined using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy. Calibration curves were created using standard solutions. The average concentration of the elements, expressed as mg/kg dry weight of the sample, were found to be 205.55mg/kg for Zn, 113.7mg/kg for Mn, 3.75mg/kg for Cr and 78.8mg/kg for Ca. Among the analysed elements, maximum amount of trace elements was Zn followed by Mn, Ca, and Cr. This study sheds light on that the Glinus oppositifolius (L) plants potential nutritional and health-related benefits through their high trace element content present. Trace element levels are being monitored and managed. Moreover, it showed that the AAS method is a simple, fast, and reliable for the determination of elements in plant materials. The obtained results of the current study provide justification for the usage of such leafy vegetables in daily diet for nutrition and for medicinal usage in the treatment of various diseases.

“…Macro, micro and trace elements are known to play a vital role in biological functions in plants and in human metabolic reactions. Moreover, trace elements play an important role in the arrangement of bioactive chemical constituents in medicinal herb plants and thus are responsible for their medicinal and toxic properties accordingly [11][12]. Several number of techniques such as voltammetery, atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) [13], inductively coupled plasma atomic optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) [14], X-ray fluorescence (XRF) [15], differential beat cathode stripping voltamperometry (DPCSV) [16] and instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) [17] are normally used for the determination of trace elements in medicinal herbal plants.…”

Natural products had been essentially used by many cultures and traditions from thousands of years. Plants synthesize massive varieties of substances called secondary metabolities (Phytocompounds) and accumulated in it. The possible bioactive phytocompounds like alkaloids, flavanoids, and phenolic compounds, steroids and coumarins etc., are possible sources for drug discovery. A study was conducted to analyse the presence of traces of essential and non essential heavy metals in the preferred medicinal plants. AAS is used to examine the presence of heavy metals in the selected medicinal plant. Results obtained in the present study showed that the medicinal herb analysed contain heavy metals (Fe,

The present study was aimed to investigate the preliminary phytochemical screening, nutritive value, mineral and heavy metal contents of the leaf, stem and flower of Celosia argentea L. belonging to family Amaranthaceae. Different parts of the plant were subjected to soxhlet using organic solvent such as methanol. A variety of phytoconstituents which include alkaloids, tannins, flavonoids, saponins, carbohydrates, proteins, steroids and amino acids were reported from C. argentea which include alkaloids, tannins, flavonoids, saponins, carbohydrates, proteins, steroids and amino acids. All the above phytoconstituents were present in leaf and stem whereas, flower showed the presence of alkaloids, carbohydrates, proteins and steroids. The results obtained indicate that the extracts contain medicinally important bioactive constituents and also heavy metals within the permissible limits. This justifies its use in the traditional medicine for the treatment of various diseases and for edible purposes.
