Effects Of Processing On Nutrient Composition Of Bitter Leaf (Vernonia Mygdalina)
A BSTRACT
The effects of
processing on the nutrient composition of bitter leaf were determined by
proximate Chemical Analysis on crude fibre, Ash, moisture contents, minerals
(Ca, Fe, Zin, 1) and Vitamin A. & C. Analysis were done using (A. 0. C.
1975) methods of analysis. Sensory evaluations of the Soups prepared from
differently processed leaves were also determined. The sensory qualities
evaluated Include colour, flavour, taste, texture and their general
acceptability. The statistical tool used was ANOVA. The results obtained from
freshly processed leaf with an anti-foaming agent retained higher percentage of
Vitamin C, Moisture Content, and ash content. The result also showed that
sunwilting before processing maximized yield by 32.3% of the initial leaves.
Freshly processed leaves had higher values for vitamin A, C. and Iron. For the
sensory evaluation,, there was no significant difference in the sensory
qualities tested except in sample 623 Texture (P
