“…The high levels of Ca, Mg and K are collectively known to reduce hypertension and blood pressure as well as used in the prevention and treatment of high blood pressure. The leaves and stem bark of A. laurina had high amounts of macro and micro-nutrients especially Ca, K, Mg and Fe when compared with other green leafy vegetables (Abbas et al, 2015;Mendez et al, 2014).…”

Pimentaracemosavar.racemosa(Myrtaceae) is a Caribbean arboreal plant known as Bay rum, with a special interest for the cosmetics industry, due to its essential oil. In present study, proximate composition and mineral content of Bay rum fruits was analyzed and results compared to the USDA (2012),1 through the nutrient database for Pimentadioicafruits. The results of bromatologic test of Bay rum revealed a high content of crude fiber (39.46%) and ashes (18.58%). Furthermore, minerals such as potassium (K) and zinc (Zn), found in ashes by using ICP-AES, revealed a higher content of these (6.6 and 1.1 times, respectively), comparing to P. dioica. Bay rum fruits might be considered as possible source of Zn and K for human and animal consumption. Additionally, the high crude fiber content might contribute to blood sugar levels regulation and also to reduce developing gastrointestinal diseases such as colon cancer. Keywords: Pimentaracemosa, fruits, proximate analysis, minerals, potassium, zinc

“…Biosorbents are made from all natural materials that contain carbon, both organic carbon and inorganic carbon which has a porous structure, like jatropha curcas leaves (Jatropha curcas L.). The chemical as organic content of jatropha leaves is carbohydrate (45.4 %), fat (3.2 %), protein (28.0 %), ash (23.4 %) [16,17]. Bio-sorbent from jatropha leaves also have studied to heavy metal ion removal like Cr, Cu and Zn, but no report of jatropha leaves as bio-sorbent to adsorb Pb and Cd ion in contaminant water [18,19].…”

Jatropha leaves from Durian, Labu Beach, North Sumatera was prepared as a biosorbent for the selectivity absorption of Pb2+ and Cd2+ in their mixture system. Jatropha curcas leaves was prepared by heating at 105 oC for 4h, then characterized by XRD and FTIR. FTIR spectra indicate the content of organic groups as -OH, -CN and -CO groups in their function to reduce of Pb and Cd ions in liquid contaminant. Pb2+ and Cd2+ were adsorbed in the single system obtained as optimum amount of Pb2+ at 100 mgL-1 and 60 min contact time is 4.72 mgg-1 which higher than Cd2+ as 4.42 mgg-1 at 100 mgL-1 ion solution for 90 min. Interestingly, in the mixture solution of Pb and Cd ions, Cd2+ was adsorbed as 2.64 mgg-1 which higher than Pb2+ adsorption amount as 2.11 mgg-1 at 100 ppm solution and adsorption time for 90 min. It indicates the mixture content of Pb and Cd ions in liquid solution shows a preferential adsorption properties compared with their single system adsorption.
