Abstract :
The leaf, fruit, stem and root of Solanum macrocarpum Linn plant was collected from Alau in Konduga Local Government Area, Borno State between October and November, 2007 and were analyzed using atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS). The concentrations of S, Ca, K and Na were the most abundant elements present in Solanum macrocarpum Linn samples than other elements. The levels of all the elements were highest in the leaf and fruit, while stem and root shows the least concentrations. From the result of this study, the levels of all the elements present in the analyzed sample are low to cause any kind of toxic effect.
