XRF Analysis of <i>Carica papaya</i> Leaves of Semi Arid Region of Kachchh

Abstract: The objective of the present investigation was to study the chemical composition of leaves of Carica papaya belonging to family Caricaceae growing in semi-arid region of Kachchh district, Gujarat, India. The leaves of C. papaya were subjected to Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) and were analyzed for different mineral composition. As the X-ray Fluorescence is one of the most reliable and accurate, as well as it is also a consistent and non-destructive method for analysis of major and trace elements … Show more

“…Fruits: Large, oval plant fruits are sometimes referred to as "pepo-like berries" because of their melon-like shape and the presence of a seed cavity in the centre. On the main stem, fruit is borne axillary and is usually borne individually, but in clusters can also be found [21]. In addition to its flavour, colour, and scent, fruit pulp offers a wide range of chemical, nutritional, and digestive qualities Fig 4 . Depending on the cultivator and climate, plant fruits take anywhere from 5 to 9 months to mature.…”
