Determination of Elemental Content of Allium pervariensis Plant Using ICP-OES (Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy) Method
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: In this study, the elemental composition of the endemic Allium pervariensis plant was determined using the ICP-OES method. The analysis revealed that calcium (Ca) and potassium (K) had the highest concentrations, with Ca at 6.2278±0.547 ppm and K at 5.5283±0.482 ppm. Additionally, sodium (Na) was measured at 1.0325±0.061 ppm. Furthermore, silver (Ag), arsenic (As), cobalt (Co), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), nickel (Ni), selenium (Se), silicon (Si), strontium (Sr), and vanadium (V) were also analyzed. These findings suggest that A. pervariensis is nutritionally rich and may offer potential health benefits. However, as the study is limited to samples from a specific geographical region, caution is needed when generalizing the results. Further comprehensive biochemical and clinical studies are recommended.
