“…The content of K (mean value 13,394 mg kg −1 ) is in a similar range to that found in literature data (25,850 mg kg −1 –26,920 mg kg −1 , [ 9 ] and 13,960 mg kg −1 and 20,770 mg kg −1 , [ 12 ]) but even the lowest content found in white pepper (383 mg kg −1 ) is higher than the results obtained by Savić et al (112 mg kg −1 , [ 20 ]).…”

“…Magnesium was found in a range from 750 mg kg −1 to 2382 mg kg −1 , similar to Abukawsar et al’s results (2330 mg kg −1 and 2340 mg kg −1 , [ 12 ]), but lower than the results of Savić et al (4.08 mg kg −1 –34.12 mg/kg −1 , [ 20 ]) and Hwang et al (1554 mg kg −1 –1919 mg kg −1 , [ 21 ]).…”

“…The presence of Li was found only in cayenne pepper (1.356 mg kg −1 ) and is higher compared to the results of Savić et al (0.26 mg kg −1 , [ 20 ]) and Hwang et al (0.072 mg kg −1 –0.629 mg kg −1 , [ 21 ]). For other pepper samples, the values for Li were below the LOD (0.016 mg kg −1 ), or at least lower than the results reported by Savić et al for black pepper (0.13 mg kg −1 , [ 20 ]) and Abukawsar et al (0.179 mg kg −1 and 0.221 mg kg −1 , [ 12 ]).…”

Different types of pepper (Piper nigrum L.) and cayenne pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) are widely used spices that exhibit therapeutic properties in addition to nutritional properties. In order to characterize these foods in further detail, the content of macro- (Ca, K, Mg, Na) and microelements (Ag, Al, As, Ba, Be, Bi, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ga, Li, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb, Rb, Se, Sr, Te, Tl, V and Zn) of four pepper types was determined via inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) after microwave-assisted digestion using nitric acid and hydrogen peroxide. The obtained results were then evaluated using chemometric methods. The content of macroelements and microelements lies in the expected ranges for such spices but differs significantly between different types. The content of macro- and microelements is characteristic for pepper types originating from different plant species, but also based on further processing. Whilst green and black pepper are similar to each other, clearly diverse patterns are obtained for white pepper (different processing method) and cayenne pepper (different plant species).

“…Solids, liquids, and gases can all be analyzed with ICP–OES. − Numerous studies have been conducted utilizing the ICP–OES method to identify the chemical elements in soil, water, river sediments, vegetables, dried fruits, and so forth . A group of scientists used ICP–OES to measure the number of trace elements (Ba, Pb, Cd, Mn, Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Sr, and Fe) in various dried fruit samples, while some other measure the levels of Al, Ni, Co, Mn, Cr, Pb, As, and Cd in agricultural soil and well water samples. , ICP–OES was used by Durkan to analyze the trace element concentrations of diverse wild edible mushroom species from the Buyuk Menders River Basin of Turkey …”

Evaluation of Heavy Metal Contamination in Soil Samples around Rampal, Bangladesh

et al. 2023

Rising soil pollution has recently emerged as a significant global issue as a result of increased industrialization, urbanization, and inadequate waste management. In Rampal Upazila, soil contamination with heavy metals resulted in a significant deterioration of quality of life and life expectancy, so the study's goal is to appraise the level of heavy metal contamination in soil samples. Inductively coupled plasma−optical emission spectrometry was used to identify 13 heavy metals (Al, Na, Cr, Co, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, Ni, Pb, Ca, Zn, and K) from 17 soil samples that were collected at random from Rampal. Enrichment factor (EF), geo-accumulation index (I geo ), contamination factor (CF), pollution load index, elemental fractionation, and potential ecological risk analysis were used to evaluate the level of pollution and sources of metal. The average concentration of heavy metals implies that they are below in the permissible limit except for Pb. Environmental indices also showed the same result for Pb. The ecological risk index (RI) for six elements�Mn, Zn, Cr, Fe, Cu, and Pb�is 26.575. For investigating the behavior and origin of elements, multivariate statistical analysis was also applied. From the EF, Na, Cr, Fe, and Mg are in the anthropogenic region, and Al, Co, Cu, Mn, Ni, Ca, K, and Zn are minorly polluted, but Pb is highly contaminated in the Rampal area. The geo-accumulation index exhibits that Pb is slightly contaminated but others are not, while CF shows no contamination in this region. From the ecological RI, the value which is below 150 is called uncontaminated, which indicates that our studied area is ecologically free. There are various classifications of heavy metal contamination in the study area. Therefore, regular monitoring of soil pollution is required, and the public awareness needs to be raised to ensure a safe environment.

“…Many plant parts have been used as spices for centuries. Spices refer to dry, aromatic parts of plants, which may include the seed, fruit, root, and bark, serving the purpose of colouring and flavour in foods (Savić et al, 2019). As regards their specific uses, they vary from one country and culture to another due to their different uses in perfumery, religious rituals, medicine, cosmetics, and foods (Bouba et al, 2012).…”

Current trends have suggested that the continuous use of chemical additives has carcinogenic effects on consumers. This has instigated the research into more organic ingredients such as plant parts which could serve as potential replacement for these additives in food. This study was therefore conducted to compare the proximate and mineral compositions of the powder of cinnamon bark and clove buds collected from Cape Coast-Ghana, and the effects of their extracts on the growth of selected food spoilage micro-organisms. The proximate analysis revealed both cinnamon and clove as rich carbohydrate sources (61.63 and 36.02%, respectively) with protein as their least components (3.44%). Mineral analysis of the samples revealed potassium as predominant in both cinnamon and clove powder (714.8 and 1296.2 mg/100 g) as both samples were found to be very low in magnesium (0.16 and 0.27 mg/100 g, respectively). The Agar well diffusion method was used to ascertain the inhibitory activity of cinnamon and clove oils on some common food spoilage microorganisms. The analysis revealed cinnamon as potent against Escherichia coli and Salmonella Typhi while clove showed a significant inhibitory activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Shigella. In conclusion, the powder of cinnamon bark and clove buds could serve as good carbohydrate and potassium supplements in food while they contribute to increased shelf-life via inhibiting food-borne bacteria.
