After optimization instrumental parameters, plasma robustness was achieved under following conditions: RF power 1350 W, nebulizer flow rate 0.5 L min−1, coolant gas 12 auxiliary flush pump 100 rpm, analysis 50 sample mL uptake delay 30 s. The limits detection (LOD) quantification (LOQs) were lower than...

In this paper, the influence of elevated concentrations some metal(oid)s (As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb, and Zn) in soil on content chlorophyll a, b, carotenoids leaves national hybrids pepper (Bela Duga) maize (ZP606) was investigated. The results show most pronounced negative effect Mn Pb pepper, Ni case maize. obtained can serve discussion better understanding potential to deal with these their effects plant growth development.

This study investigated the uptake of some heavy metals (Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, and Pb) by white clover (Trifolium repens L.) using a pot experiment. Plant soil samples were prepared through wet digestion analyzed ICP-OES. The obtained results discussed in terms metal concentrations, translocation factors (TF), enrichment (EF). Metal concentrations higher roots compared to shoots plant. White growing Cd-contaminated absorbed significant amounts Cd both aboveground parts.

The phenolic content of investigated Rosa dumalis fruit samples were studied. To obtain a more detailed profile, five solvents with different polarities (water, ethanol, 60% methanol and acidified 80% methanol) used for the preparation plant extracts. Individual phenolics analyzed using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). obtained results indicate that R. are rich in both acids flavonoids. Acidified extracts had highest yields followed by water, methanol, ethanol.

Abstract Nowadays, climate changes induce deviations in the composition of honey varieties characteristic a specific geographic region. Therefore, according to Codex Alimentarius for honey, slight variations values determined parameters cannot be strictly regarded as sign its adulteration. Here, modified methods are presented preparing samples inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) analysis and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method use them fast...
