Qualitative elemental analysis of some selected antidiabetic medicinal plants of Assam using X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) technique

چکیده
A large number of medicinal plants are reported to have antidiabetic properties. Trace elements present in those plants are some of the contributing factors of their antidiabetic activities. The present study was conducted to identify the trace and macro-elements in some selected antidiabetic medicinal plants collected from Assam using Xray Fluorescence (XRF) technique. The data shows the presence of Fe, Zn, Pb, Mg, Cr, Cu, Ni, Mn, Mo, Sr in Aegle marmelos, MussaParadisica, Catharanthusroseus, Garcinia pedunculataandOcimum sanctum. The results of the study provide justification for the usage of these medicinal plants in the treatment of diabetes, since they are found to contain the elements P, Ca, K and Mg which play a significant role in the management of diabetes.

Calcium and potassium are essential for cell signaling, ion homeostasis and cell wall strength in plants. Unlike nutrients such as nitrogen and potassium, calcium is immobile in plants. Localized calcium deficiencies result in agricultural losses; particularly for fleshy horticultural crops in which elemental imbalances in fruit contribute to the development of physiological disorders such as b...
