Waste product and dried leaf of stevia rebaudiana were analyzed heavy metals, scanning electron microscopy, Thermal properties (DSC) and FT-IR spectrum analysis. (Mercury) Hg, (Selenium) Se, (Cadmium) Cd and (Lead) Pb were determined in waste stevia (0.07μg /g, 0.8μg / g, 0.11μg /g and 0.19μg /g) respectively. (SEM) were scanned for both samples and clear difference was observed in samples. Thermal characteristics (DSC) was investigated and results showed slight various between waste and leaf powder of stevia, after that FTIR was studied and appeared different chemical groups in waste and leaf sample of stevia rebaudiana respectively", issn = "23191473", journal = "IJAIR", keywords = "Stevia Rebaudiana;DSC;Heavy Metals;FTIR Spectrum;Morphological Properties", month = "September", number = "2", pages = "226-229", title = "{T}hermal and {M}orphological {P}roperties of {W}aste {P}roduct and {L}eaf {P}owder of {S}tevia {R}ebaudiana {B}ertoni", volume = "7", year = "2018", }
