Macro and Micro Mineral Compositions of Plant Ash from Cola Leaves, Okro Leaves, Cola Hispida Leaves and Wireweeds, and their Emulsion Capacity:- Alagbara Ifegazie E
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/JOO g. Magnesium content were 9.54, 2.85, 6. 73 and4.26 mg/I 00 g.
Sodium content were 6.23, I 0.24, I .57 and 11.32 mg/100 g. Potassium content
of the samples were 36.63, 3.62, 38.34 and 8.28 mg/ 1 00g.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.
