COMPARATIVE PROXIMATE COMPOSITION, ANTI-NUTRITIONAL ANALYSES AND ANT-MICROBIAL SCREENING OF SOME NIGERIAN MEDICINAL PLANTS

The food insecurity in the world/Nigeria paves way for more research to remedy human hunger /diseases caused by weather conditions / greenhouse effects. This study compares and validates proximate composition, anti-nutritional anti-microbial screening of crude methanol extracts three Nigerian medicinal plants; Lactuca taraxacifolia; [ moisture (10.68 ± 00%), Ash (19.48 0.03%), Crude fibre (39.16 0.10%), Protein (7.97± Lipid (11.77± 0.02%), Carbohydrate (29.91± 0.13%), Oxalate > Phylate Tannin; inhibition zones most effective concentration 50 mg mL : Staphylococcus. aureus 45.66 0.00, Escherichia coli 49.40 0.01, Salmonella typhi 42.30 Streptococcus faecalis 41.90 0.01]. Aframomum melegueta; {Moisture (4.36 0.04 %), (6.75 (19.92 0.11 (5.48 fat (3.60 (59.49 004%), Tannin Oxalate; S. 20.22 E. 30.21 0.30, 15.24 0.11, 15.61 0.13} Ocimum gratissimum; [Moisture (12.43 0.22%), (17.77 0.04%), Fibre (19.91± 0.15%), (1.92 0.26%), Fat (11.80 (42.63 0.06%), 35.03 34.22 0.71, 32.02 30.01 0.42]. Considering analyses, it’s seen that, A. melegueta carbohydrates is greatest followed O. gratissimum, then L. taraxacifolia. Their anti-nuttherapeutics nutrients, especially during this era
