In Kenya, beetroot bulbs are occasionally used as a blend in fruit juices and salads, as a livestock feed and for treatment of diseases. Analysis of essential elements in beetroot bulbs was performed using Energy Dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) in order to determine the nutritional content of the bulbs. The beetroot bulbs were sampled from five different geographical regions in Kenya; Karatina, Gilgil, Naivasha, Joska and Kisumu. The results of the concentrations of the essential elements had a range of: 10000 mg kg-1 to 61000 mg kg-1 for potassium, 500 mg kg-1 to 4500 mg kg-1 for calcium, 15.0 mg kg-1 to 230 mg kg-1 for manganese, 24.0 mg kg-1 to 770 mg kg-1 for iron and 16.0 mg kg-1 to 680 mg kg-1 for zinc. In general, the trend in the concentrations of the essential elements was K > Ca > Fe > Mn > Zn. Karatina samples registered the highest concentrations for all the elements of interest in this study. The results of analysis of variance (ANOVA) for all the five sampled regions show that there is a significant difference in the Ca, Fe and Mn concentration levels. Beetroots were found to contain sufficient amounts of the essential elements, therefore, are a suitable vegetable source of essential elements of K, Ca, Mn, Fe and Zn and can be used as an immune system booster. This study is supportive to the Government's efforts of improving health care and in the fight against "hidden hunger-malnutrition" in the country.

“…Children as young as 8 years old need 1.2 to 1.5 mg per day, whereas adult men of any age up to 70 years old need 1.9-2.3 mg per day. Females up to the age of 70 need 1.6-1.8 mg per day [68]. The quantity of manganese discovered was found greater (0.281 mg/L) in roots and lesser (0.975 mg/L) in leaves.…”

Fingerhuthia africana Lehm belongs to family Poaceae, is an erect perennial grass used traditionally to cure different diseases. The current study was carried out to find the bioactive compounds by GC-MS, elemental analysis through atomic absorption spectrophotometry, proximate analysis by AOAC, genotoxic activity through comet assay, antioxidant activity through DPPH and antidiarrheal activity through castor oil induce diarrhea followed by charcoal meal on mice model. GC-MS chromatogram represents different compounds detected in the crude extract. Major pharmacological bioactive compounds are 4H-Pyran-4-one, 2,3-dihydro-3,5-dihydroxy-6-methyl-; 4-Methyl itaconate; .alpha.-Terpineol; 1,2,3-Propanetriol, 1-acetate; Benzofuran, 2,3-dihydro-; Caryophyllene oxide; Hinesol; n-Hexadecanoic acid; 9,12-Octadecadienoic acid (Z,Z)-, methyl ester; Hexadecanoic acid and methyl ester. Elemental analysis of stem, leaves and roots of the plant show the presence of (macro and micro) nutrients such as Ca, Mg, K, Na, Cu, Pb, Zn, Mn, Fe, Cd and Co were absent in all parts. Proximate analysis of different parts revealed the presence of moisture contents (8.57%), ash (9.77%), fats contents (5.96%), fibers contents (45.03%), protein (3.62%), carbohydrates (39.71%) and Gross energy (Kcal/100g) (220.10). The ethanolic extract show dose-dependent genoprotective potential (127.38 ± 1.16), (83.28 ± 0.65), and (44.08 ± 1.40) at 50, 75, and 100 mg/100 ml, respectively, as compared to the methanolic extract which show genotoxic activity (85.13 ± 1.23) at high dose. After 90 minutes at a concentration of 300 (g/ml), methanolic extract demonstrated the greatest antioxidant potential (79.5%), followed by aqueous extract (76.5%). The methanolic extract of F. africana demonstrated antidiarrheal efficacy, with the maximum inhibition of charcoal movement (83.78%) occurring at a dosage of 300 mg/kg, followed by doses of 200 and 100 mg/kg, 73.26% and 59.56%, respectively. The current research highlights that the plant contains a substantial quantity of micro and macro nutrients, possesses high nutritional value, and exhibits pharmacological activities. These properties render the plant suitable for developing remedies to treat various therapeutic diseases.

O conhecimento sobre as interações entre as plantas e os metais pesados é muito importante, não só à segurança do meio ambiente, mas também para reduzir os riscos associados com a introdução desses elementos na cadeia alimentar. Este trabalho determinou a concentração de metais em cultivares produzidos nos perímetros irrigados Jacarecica I e Açude Macela, localizados na cidade de Itabaiana-SE. A quantificação dos metais Zn, Cu, Ni, Cr, Pb, Mn, Fe, Na, K, Mg e Ca foi feita por Espectrometria de Absorção Atômica. Os resultados das análises realizadas em hortaliças foram expressos em função da massa úmida. O conjunto de dados obtidos com as médias das concentrações das amostras de hortaliças foi submetido a técnicas exploratórias de dados, análise de componentes principais (PCA) e análise de agrupamento hierárquico (HCA), promovendo a separação das hortaliças de acordo com o seu tipo, mostrando que há uma predominância na concentração de metais nas hortaliças de raízes.
