“…Of the studies with similar findings; Ashraf, Hayat, and Mumtaz [29] found that calcium content of the 17 endemic species they studied in their research from Artemisia to Pakistan was between 0.057-1.069%. In another study, the calcium content of 10 medicinal plants grown in the north-east of India was examined and it was reported that there was a wide variation with the limits between 0.166-3.20% [30]. Finally, considering the Mg content of the edible parts of the plants in our study, it was determined that the lowest Mg content was in Cichorium intybus species (0.18%), while the highest Mg content was in the edible parts of Brassica oleracea var.…”

In this study, mineral nutrition status of some aromatic plants such as Foeniculum vulgare, Cichorium intybus, Brassica oleracea var. capitata, Liquidambar orientalis that are naturally spread in Muğla province and its locality and consumed by the local people, and the soil characteristics of the species were investigated. According to the results, it was determined that the species of plants spread between pH-mild acid and neutral in a loamy, salt-free and low-lime environment. In addition to this, while it was determined that plants were at high levels in terms of N, Ca and Fe contents, Zn value was found to be at a low level. In the second phase of the study, it was aimed to obtain detailed information for above mentioned local plants by using qualitative research method. It was found that there were differences in the nutrition habits of the societies due to different cultures. Local differences mostly stemmed from the yields grown in that region. One another aim is to investigate the food preparations in Muğla cuisine preferred by the local people regarding "arapsaçı, hindiba, cibez and günlük" (TR), which are among the medicinal aromatic plants found in Muğla, and the consumption preferences of these plants. The main purpose of this research was to determine the aromatic plant consumption habits of the people living in Muğla province and evaluate these consumptions in terms of health. As a result of the interviews, the recipes of these dishes, information on their preferability and their effects on health were obtained.

“…Medicinal plants have been used for the treatment of various diseases from ancient time and have been playing an important role in the discovery of the modern day medicines with novel chemical constituents [1]. In the U.S.A., about 8% of hospital admissions are due to side effects of synthetic drugs [2].…”

Objective: The objective of this study was to determine heavy metals using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and phytochemical constituents of methanol extract of Caesalpinia bonducella seed kernel using gas chromatography - mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Methods: In GC-MS investigation, 95% methanol extract of C. bonducella seed kernel was performed on JEOL GC MATE ΙΙ, column HP 5 MS, and Quadruple, double-focusing mass analyzer. Determination of heavy metals from C. bonducella powder was performed using Thermo scientific I CAP Q instrument, for plant powder digestion Anton Paar Microwave model: Multiwave 300 was used. Antimicrobial activity was evaluated using microdilutions broth method. Results: GC-MS analysis of methanol extract of C. bonducella seed kernel has shown 11 different phytoconstituents. ICP-MS analysis has shown the concentration of ten heavy metals in C. bonducella seed kernel as follows: Cr 1.5 ppm, Fe 72.72 ppm, Co 0.33 ppm, Ni 0.03 ppm, Cu 10.73 ppm, Zn 18.44 ppm, As 0.03 ppm, Cd 0.02 ppm, and Pb 0.58 ppm. Conclusion: Result showed that the plant is safe to use from toxic heavy metals such as As, Cd, and Pb. It is suitable to check frequently the heavy metal content in the plant used in traditional medicines before given to patients.

The primary objective of this study is to perform a comparative analysis of the trace element content of the leaves and roots of three Plantago species (P. maxima Juss. ex Jacq., P. major L., and P. lanceolata L.). Trace element levels were assessed by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The data indicate that the leaves of P. lanceolata are characterized by the highest Co, Cr, and Se content, whereas P. maxima leaves contained the greatest levels of Si and Zn. In contrast, the highest concentrations of Co, Cr, Fe, I, Mn, Si, and V were detected in the roots of P. major. Zn content was also higher in P. maxima roots than in the other species analyzed. The toxic trace elements were differentially distributed across the studied species. In particular, P. lanceolata leaves contained significantly higher Al, As, Li, Ni, Pb, and Sr levels, whereas the B and Cd content was elevated in P. major as compared to the other species. Surprisingly, the leaf Hg level was the lowest in P. major, whose levels of Al, As, B, Cd, Ni, Li, and Sr were significantly higher than the other two species. The data indicate that the concentration of most of the essential trace elements was higher in the leaves and roots of P. major and P. lanceolata than in P. maxima, while P. maxima had less toxic metals. The obtained data on trace elements content in Plantago tissues may be taken into account while using plant preparations in practical medicine.
