Abstract

Proton induced X-ray emission (PIXE) and gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) were used to detect elements as well as phytochemicals in the Centella asiatica and Elsholtzia communis having possible roles for cardio-protections. Elements namely K, Cl, Ca, Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu were present in varying concentration with notable concentration of K, Cl and Fe. Phytochemicals such as stigmasterol, β-sitosterol, phytol and N-hexadeconic acid were detected in the C. asiatica while E. communis was found to contain β-carotene, β-sitosterol, phytol and N-hexadeconic acid. The study reveals that these two ethnomedicinal herbs are found to contain elements and phytochemical known for their cardio-protective roles.
