Abstract |
|
Green leafy vegetables contain lots of minerals, nutrients and dietary fibers. They play vital role in maintaining good health. In this fast pacing life, we need to give importance to good diet. Compositions of green leafy vegetables are needed to be evaluated for all references. There are many in-vitro and physico-chemical methods available for this purpose. Many of such methods of estimating mineral content of Indian green leafy vegetables are discussed in this paper. A non-invasive technical method for the estimation of mineral and nutrients is also proposed in this paper. The proposed method uses UV and visible radiation for the detection of absorption and reflection property of the test specimen. Hence, an instrument/system for this method can be easily implemented. |
