Abstract EN
Cymbopogon citratus (DC.) Stapf commonly known as lemon grass is used extensively as green tea and even as herbal tea ingredient across the world.
Plants have the ability to uptake metals as nutrient from the soil and its environment which are so essential for their physiological and biochemical growth.
Concentrations of these twelve trace elements, namely, Mg, Ca, Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Mo, As, Cd, and Pb, are analysed by graphite furnace-atomic absorption spectroscopy (GF-AAS) and are compared with the permissible limits of FAO/WHO, ICMR, and NIH, USA, which are found to be within permissible limits.
Toxic metals like As, Cd, and Pb, analysed are within the tolerable daily diet limit and at low concentration.
