Macro And Micro Mineral Compositions Of Plant Ash From Cola Leaves, Okro Leaves, Cola Hispida Leaves And Wireweeds, And Their Emulsion Capacity
ABSTRACT
This work was carried out to study raw ash yield, dry ash, mineral, emulsification and pH content of food grade ash obtained from cola leaves, okro leaves, cola hispida leaves and Wire weed leaves. The plant materials were sun dried and each was subjected to open air burning to obtain raw ash. Each raw ash sample was ashed in the muffle furnace to obtain dry ash that was used for the analyses using standard analytical methods. Both raw ash and dry ash yield were obtained by calculation. The results showed that raw and dry ash yields were for cola nut, wire weed, okra and ukukoro leaves respectively 7.26, 6.59, 16.14, 9.50 % and 58.08, 88.64, 62.91, 48.18 %. Calcium content were 4.93, 5.15, 110.84 and 13.56 mg/100 g. Phosphorous content were 33.13, 7.55, 2.96 and 1.91 mg/100 g. Magnesium content were 9.54, 2.85, 6.73 and4.26 mg/100 g. Sodium content were 6.23, 10.24, 1.57 and 11.32 mg/100 g. Potassium content of the samples were 36.63, 3.62, 38.34 and 8.28 mg/100g.Iron content were 0.98, 0.82, 1.44 and 2.67 mg/100 g. Zinc content were 0.83, 1.23, 1.57 and 0.05 mh/100 g. Copper content were 0.23, 0.14, 0.12 and 0.06 mg/100 g. The pH values of the samples were 13.45, 13.41, 13.33 and 13.09. Emulsion capacity were 50.02, 34.31, 48.38 and 45.97 % respectively for cola nut, wire weed, okra and ukukoro leave ashes. The ashes were good food with variations in mineral content and high pH, and also liable to make emulsion.
