Gas chromatography mono spectrometry study of malathion residues in Centella Asiatic.
Centella asiatica is a herbaceous plant and known as pegaga in Malaysia. It was commonly used as a healing agent and constituent to improve mental ability because contains polyphenols and triterpenes. Malathion is an insecticide that helped to increase value and yields of Centella. asiatica by contr...
