From Tradition to Modern Spectroscopy: Elemental Profiling of Amla with LIBS, XRF and ICP-MS, (Paperback)

Elemental Science of Amla A LIBS (Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy), XRF (X-ray Fluorescence), and ICP-MS (Inductively Coupled Plasma- Mass Spectrometry) Study offers a comprehensive and easy-to-understand scientific analysis of Phyllanthus Emblica (Amla), which is considered one of the most precious medicinal fruits in traditional medicine. By connecting ancient knowledge with modern scientific analysis, this book uncovers the elemental basis for the importance of Amla. Amla has been employed for centuries in Ayurvedic, Unani, and other traditional systems of medicine for its antioxidant, immunomodulatory, and restorative actions. Although it has been widely employed, its elemental characterization using contemporary spectroscopic analysis has remained limited. The present book fills this void by employing Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy, X-Ray Fluorescence, and Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry in a complementary and systematic way. The book introduces the principles and applications of each technique and shows how the combination of these techniques can be used to achieve qualitative and quantitative elemental analysis. The LIBS technique allows for rapid in-situ elemental analysis, the XRF technique allows for non-destructive elemental verification, and the ICP-MS technique allows for high-precision trace and ultra-trace element analysis. In addition to the instrumentation and data, the book focuses on interpretation and relevance. The detected elements are discussed in relation to their biological significance, nutritional value, and possible medical applications. Elemental Science of Amla is written for research professionals, postgraduate students, and interested readers who want to learn about evidence-based natural medicine. The book is a model for interdisciplinary research that combines physics, chemistry, botany, and health sciences. It shows how modern spectroscopy can be used to scientifically prove the efficacy of natural remedies, and it provides knowledge that is both academically sound and universally significant.
