ELEMENTAL ANALYSIS OF SELECTED MEDICINAL PLANTS USING EURO ELEMENTAL ANALYSER

Different elemental constituents at trace levels of plants play an effective role in the herbal 
formulation preparation. Elemental composition of different parts including leaves, seeds and 
fruits have been determined by using EuroEA Elemental analyser (EEA). The 4 elements of 
Nitrogen, Carbon, Hydrogen and Sulphur have been measured. Their concentrations were found 
to vary in different samples. Medicinal properties of these plant samples and their elemental 
distribution have been correlated.
