✦ Synopsis

An extensive study has been made on the mineral element compositions of spinach leaves and stems. Twenty two locally grown di †erent spinach samples have been analysed for 16 elements using ICP and atomic absorption spectrophotometric techniques. Both spinach leaves and stems were analysed separately. A detailed elucidation of the inorganic matrix in spinach leaves and stems has been provided.
