Fuad Wan Ezumi Mohd. Phytochemical Screening and Mineral Elements Composition of Cordyceps Sinensis and its Based Product (Esulin). International Journal of Applied Biology and Pharmaceutical Technology. 2015 Jan-Mar; 6(1): 103-107.0976-4550http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/168424Screening of phytochemical and mineral elements composition of Cordyceps sinensis and its based product, Esulin were carried out in order to provide a basis for further research on the therapeutic value of these herbs. The results of both aqueous extracts positively showed the presence of several bioactive compounds like alkaloids, saponins, tannins, and flavonoids. However, terpenoids only present in the aqueous extract of Esulin. In addition, the levels of copper, zinc, cadmium, ferum, lead and nickel of both extracts were below the maximum permissible level suggested by World Health Organization (1989) & Malaysian Food Law (1985). The presence of phytochemical components and mineral elements in the aqueous extract of Cordyceps sinensis and Esulin might contribute to their therapeutic applications in medicinal practices.enPhytochemicalsmineral elementsCordyceps sinensisEsulinArticle
