Mineral composition of Carica papaya Linn extracts

Investigation was carried out on the nutritionally essential mineral elements contents of seed (CPS), endocarp (CPF) and epicarp (CPP) of papaya extracts. Both aqueous (h2o) and PBS extracts were analyzed to determine the contents of 8 minerals namely Ca, Mg, Na, Fe, Mn, Zn, Ag and Se using atomic a...
