Biochemical characterisation of the leaf of Morinda lucida: Prospects for environmentally-friendly steel-rebar corrosion-protection in aggressive medium
This paper employs atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and phytochemical screening methods for biochemical characterisation of the inorganic and organic constituents of the leaf of Morinda lucida. AAS results showed that
this well-known medicinal- plant is high in iron (Fe = 5143.54 g/g), low in cadmium (Cd = 2.9506 g/g) and does not contain...
