Analysis Of Phytochemical, Mineral And Vitamin In Dried Leaves Of Gnetum Africanum (Ukazi) And Pterocarpus Soyauxii (Uha)
ABSTRACT
The chemical analysis of dried leaves of Gnetum africanum and
Pterocarpus soyawxii gotten from Ndioro market were carried out using the
method approved , by AOAC.The leaves were weighed and divided into three parts
and the phytochemical, vitamin and mineral contents were determined on the
leaves. The , qualitative analysis carried out on the two. leaves showed the
presence of the following Phytochemicals and their values. Alkaloid; (ukazi
1.98,2.14) and (uha 2.64, 2.58), Saponin; (0.35,0.40) and (0.58,0.610),
Flavonoid; (0.52,0.65) and (0.36,0.44) Tannis; (0.220, 0.240) and (0.165,0.180)
of ukazi and uha respectively. , The mineral composition and their values.
Phosphorus; (ukazi 0.485,0.500) and (uha 0.285,0.225), Calcium; (3.61,3.51) and
(2.21,2.31), Magnessium; (1.16,1.28) and (0.73, 0.85), Potassium; (0.675,0.650)
and (2.00,1.90), Sodium; (0.25,0.225) and (0.375,0.355), for the two leaves
respectively. The Vitamin composition and their values. Ascorbic acid; (ukazi
12.80, 12.64) and (22.00,25.10), Thiamine; (0.21,0.195) and (0.160,0.150),
Riboflavin; (0.090,0.112) ~~ (0.140,0.135), Niacin; (1.21,1.20) and (1.05,
1.08), Beta- carotenoid; (25.10,24.90) and (14.90,15.10), for the leaves
respectively. The results obtained from this analysis studied show that the two
different leaves have significant nutrient.
