Studies of Millets through SEM and & EDS

Abstract

Scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy were used to conduct the essential multielement analysis and to examine the surface morphology at the nano- and microscale of 6 millets medicinal plants. To comprehend the elemental analysis of medicinal millets that were taken from the districts of Belagavi and Mysore in the regions of North and South Karnataka.

In the current study, Millets were chosen. A detailed nano-microphotograph was taken of the samples using an SEM, and an EDX/EDS analysis determined the exact weight percent of elemental concentration.

After being assessed in all of the collected MILLETS, the elemental concentrations of O, C, P, Mg, Mn, K, Cu, Fe, Hg, Zn, and Pb were discovered to be under the WHO Permissible Limit values. SEM morphology shows that the examined Millets contain fine plane irregularly shaped particles with an average diameter of 200nm–1 µm.
