Phytochemical, Nutritive And Mineral Screening Of Pterocarpus Species
ABSTRACT
The Photochemical Composition, Mineral And Nutritive Content
Of Leaves Of Pterocarpus Species Were Determined. The Species Investigated Were
Pterocarpus Osun, P. Soya Uxii, P. Santaiinoides And P. Miidbraedii. Both The
Old Leaves And The Freshly Expanded Leaves Were Analysed. The Result Revealed
The Presence Of The Following Phytochemicals Comprising: Tannins (0.18 —
O.21)Mg/Ml, Phenols (0.025 — 1.01o)Mg/Ml, Saponins (0.110 -. 0.230)Mg/Ml And
Flavonoids (0.020 — 0.240)Mg/Ml. Alkaloids Were Present Only In P. Santa/Mo/Des
(0.006 — 0.050)Mg/Ml And P. Mildbraedii.. On The Average, The Plants Contained
Crude Proteins, (14.88 — 25.38)%, Crude Fiber (8.28 — 14.26)%, Carbohydrate
(40.36 — 63.46)%, Crude Lipid (5.06 — 12.52)%, Ash (4.48 — 8.88)%, And Food
Energy (351.12 — 395.6)G/Cal. The Plants' Leaves Were Good Sources Of Mineral
Such As; Ca, Mg, K, P, Na & N. These Substances May Be Responsible For The
Health Related Properties Of The Plants And Their Uses In Herbal Medicine.
