Chemical analysis of Tanacetum corymbosum (L.) Sch. Bip. using neutron activation analysis

摘要

For the first time the elemental composition of Tanacetum corymbosum (L.) Sch. Bip. of Moldavian origin was determined by means of neutron activation analysis. The content of 21 major and trace elements Al, As, Br, Ca, Cl, Co,Cs, Fe, K, La, Mg, Mn, Mo, Na, Rb, Sb, Sc, Sm, Sr, Th, and Zn were determined. The content of As in analysed plants was lower than value established by World Health Organization. Obtained results were compared with literature data as well as Reference plant values. Concentration of elements determined in T. corymbosum fell within the values reported for other medicinal herbs of Asteraceae family.
