Heavy Metal Content Screening in Leaves and Flowers of Hypericum origanifolium Willd. by Atomic Absorption Spectrometry

Atomic absorption spectrometry facilitates the reliable determination of mineral content during pharmaceutical quality control medicinal plants. In present work, measurable amounts Fe, Ca, Cu, K, Mg, Mn, Na and Zn were detected in leaves flowers Hypericum origanifolium Willd. through atomic spectrometry. Mean heavy metal H. was, descending order, Ca > Mg K Fe. was higher concentrations (11157.24 ppm) (20132.24 titled plant. Our results reveal that are less suitable as target plant parts for accumulation than leaves.
