In this study, Al, B ,Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb and
Sn concentrations in henna samples sold in
Turkey were determined by Microwave Induced Plasma Optical Emission
Spectrometry. It is a relatively new technique, which uses a 2.45 GHz microwave magnetic field and nitrogen gas to
sustain the plasma. With this technique, there is no requirement for flammable
and toxic gases and their gas-cylinders. For the determination, each henna sample weighed approximately 0.1 g and underwent microwave-assisted
digestion using 10 mL of HNO3+H2O2 (3:1)
mixture. In order to test the method’s accuracy, analytes were determined in bush branches and the leaves CRM. Finally, the elemental
concentrations were determined in 18 different henna samples sold in Turkey by using
optimized parameters.
