Table 6.
Theoretically calculated and experimental average atomic percentages of berberine chloride where the experimental atomic averages were obtained by energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis of the scanning electron microscopic (SEM) images taken from different sites of the images.
| Berberine chloride | C% | H% | N% | O% | Cl% |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Theoretical atomic% | 45.45 | 40.90 | 2.27 | 9.09 | 2.27 |
| Theoretical atomic% excluding H | 76.92 | 3.85 | 15.39 | 3.85 | |
| Experimental | 83.60 | 2.45 | 11.33 | 2.05 |
