Phytochemical And Proximate Analysis Of Some Nigeria Soup Thickeness (Afzelia Africana, Brachystegia Eurycoma, Mucuna Sloeneri Detarium Microcarpum
ABSTRACT
Nigeria is rich in many natural
plants which serve as fruits, foods, spices and drugs. Human being depends on
these plants because of their medicinal and food values especially their seeds
and fruits which provide essential dietary supplements which are rich in
vitamins A and C. The use of these plants seeds as part or desert with main
dish is largely allied to the traditional food habits. The seeds of some plant
are freely consumed independently because, many of the indigenous seeds
obtained from widely distributed plants, their gathering, distribution and
marketing have created opportunities for employment of a number of rural and
urban inhabitants. There are many wild and semi wild or protected species which
yield valuable seeds, fruits, leave and nuts, and are therefore extensively
exploited. Research has shown that apart from their medicinal, food and
nutritive values, some seeds can contain harmful chemicals. Some of these
plants species are endangered, this is based largely on the fact that little or
no effort is made to propagate the indigenous species in spite of the increase
in demand for their products. Some of the factors that may contribute to the
predisposition of the species to extinction include their natural habitats of
the plants including forest and other stages, vegetation changes which are
threatened by intensive agriculture, unknown development and other
infrastructural expansion. As mentioned earlier, many of the seed tress are
highly cherished and there is a great deal of demand for the products by old
and young people including those overseas. There are pressures on existing
protected or wild plants, some of which are wholly or partially cut to harvest
the seed.
