Abstract

Nettle, Stinging Nettle (Common names) Urticadioca; Urticaurens (Scientific names) is considered by many to be a bothersome pest, but the nettle has been used since ancient times as a source of food, fiber, and medicinal preparations. They also called in commonly as nettle, weedy perennial plant of the nettle family (Urticaceae). It is known for its stinging leaves classified as eukaryote. Because they contain a true nucleus and membrane bound organelles. The accuracy of the optimized procedure was evaluated by analyzing the digest of the spiked samples with standard solution and the percentage recoveries varied from 91.2% to 109%. The concentration determined (mg/100g dry weight) were in the ranges Fe (14.583 –14.7916), Cd (0–0.4076), Cu (0.4182–2.2962), Zn (13.432–18038) and Pb (0.001–0.3083). From these Fe has high concentration from trace metals. A statistical analysis of variance (ANOVA) at 95% confidence level indicated that there is significant difference in the levels of metals among the two samples means except Cd and Pb. The results indicates that Gozamin nettle leaves are good source of essential trace metals and free from the toxic metal. All the metals concentration in this study is slightly comparable with WHO guideline of vegetables.
