Quantification of Trace Elemental Concentration in Bark and Leaves of Aegle marmelos L. Used against Asthma Disease in Telangana by EDXRF-Technique

Article Preview

Abstract:

ED-XRF technique was used for quantification of elemental concentration in bark and leaves of Aegle marmelos L. is an anti-asthmatic herbal plant. 13 major and trace elements namely P, S, K, Cl, Mn, Ca, Cu, Fe, Zn, Rb, Sr, Br, and Se were determined, concentrations measured and compared between bark and leaves and with certified values of NIST 1515 apple leaves. The experimental data reveal that leaves of A. marmelos showed higher concentration of Mn, K, Zn, Se, Cl, Ca, Br and Rb whereas the bark showed higher concentration of P, S, Fe, Cu, and Sr. The major and trace elemental concentrations in both bark and leaves were found to be diverse. The significant findings of the current study are, the leaves of A. marmelos were considered more efficient traditional herbal medicine than bark, since they are found to be containing a rich amount of Mn, K, Zn, Se, Cu, and Fe. Therefore, the tribal people of Telangana are widely used by this plant to prevent asthma disease.
