Evaluation of chemical composition of the leaves of Ocimum gratissimum and Vernonia amygdalina
The leaves of Ocimum gratissimum and Vernonia amygdalina were analyzed for their chemical composition, minerals and vitamins. The results obtained from the analysis of the two plants were compared. The results revealed the presence of bioactive constituents comprising alkaloids (1.90 to 2.68 mg/100 g), tannins (0.04 to 0.07 mg/100g), saponins (0.06 to 2.94 mg/100 g), flavonoids (1.88 to 2.98 mg...
متن کاملAntioxidant, Metal Chelating, Anti-glucosidase Activities and Phytochemical Analysis of Selected Tropical Medicinal Plants
The purpose of this investigation was to determine the antioxidant potentials and anti-glucosidase activities of six tropical medicinal plants. The levels of phenolic constituents in these medicinal plants were also quantified and compared. Antioxidation potentials were determined colorimetrically for scavenging activities against DPPH and NO radicals. Metal chelating assay was based on the mea...

متن کاملPhytochemical Composition of Aframomum melegueta and Piper guineense Seeds
Samples of two spice plants; Aframomum melegueta and Piper guineese were analyzed for phytochemical composition. The result of the phytochemical screening of the two seeds reveals the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, saponin, steroids, cardiac glycosides and terpenes. The percentage of alkaloids in Aframomum melegueta 2.17% was higher than that in Piper guineense which contained 1.67...
متن کاملPhytochemical Analysis and Proximate Composition of the Leaves of Gongronema latifolium
The phytochemical and proximate compositions of the dried leaves of Gongronema latifolium were analyzed using the methods of Association of Official Analytical Chemists (A.O.A.C). The results of proximate composition showed that the leaves contained moisture (11.13±0.01%), crude protein (33.60±0.00%), carbohydrate (38.55±0.00%), crude fat (3.41±0.01%), crude fibre (4.20±0.01%), ash (9.11±0.01%)...
