Journal of Radioanalytical and Nuclear Chemistry Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) was applied to determine the inorganic composition of leaves and extracts from three different species of Casearia genus plant (C. sylvestris, C. decandra and C. obliqua). Statistical analysis of the analytical data of leaf showed that the three Casearia species present similar elemental composition. Extract from C. sylvestris showed significantly different inorganic content in comparison with the two other species. Certified reference material NIST SRM-1515 Apple Leaves was analyzed for quality control.
