Avaliação da composição mineral do chá da folha senescente de Montrichardia linifera (arruda) schott (araceae) por espectrometria de absorção atômica com chama (FAAS).

The content of these metals that are transferred of the leaf to the infusions have presented significant reductions, however, the Mn values in the infusion may exceed the tolerable daily intake (11 mg) if consumption of this tea is greater than 1.0 L per day. So the tea of senescent leaves of M. linifera may be considered as a toxic beverage and thus its use is not advised.porAcesso AbertoMontrichardia liniferaAraceaeAningaMacrófita aquáticaComposição mineralManganêsPlantas medicinaisEspectrometria de absorção atômica com chamaAmazônia brasileiraArtigo de Periódico
