NUTRITIONAL COMPOSITION, CONSTITUENTS, AND ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY OF POWDER FRACTIONS OF FICUS DICRANOSTYLA MILDBREAD LEAVES

Background and objective: The research on nutritional health-benefiting compounds has increased in leafy vegetables such as Ficus dicranostyla.The current study was conducted to evaluate the effect of sieved-based fractionation nutrient content, polyphenolic components, antioxidant activities dicranostyla leaves powder.
 Methods: Dried powder sieved at three size classes (<125 µm, between 250 125µm, ≥ µm) unsieved produced characterized for proximate composition, minerals, total phenolic, flavonoids contents, well activity. Nutrient quantities were expressed g/100g crude leaves. 
 Results: Statistics resultsrevealed a significant difference among fractions activity with DPPH FRAP. Proteins (19.60-26.08), lipids (5.33-10.40), ash (11.44 16.60) contents small fractions, while carbohydrates (40.19-50.88) fibers (9.08–15.04) lowered. Similarly, minerals namely iron, copper, magnesium, zinc (3.26-9.68, 9.09-24.41, 1.38-2.33, 3.79-8.55 g/100 g, respectively). In addition, phenolic flavonoids, also higher smaller particles. fraction < 125 µm (smaller particle) showed highest content activity, demonstrating importance sizing profitability functional food ingredients.
 Conclusion: Data analysis clearly demonstrates that leaf could be recognized source nutritive antioxidants. derived ingredients prepared purpose oxidative stress-related disease prevention.

 UJPR follows most transparent toughest ‘Advanced OPEN peer review’ system. identity authors and, reviewers will known each other. This process help eradicate any possible malicious/purposeful interference by person (publishing staff, reviewer, editor, author, etc) during review. As result this unique system, all get their due recognition respect, once names are published papers. We expect that, publishing review reports papers, helpful many drafting article according specifications. Auhors remove error they improve article(s) previous displayed article(s). main it is ‘to quality candidate manuscript’. Our check ‘strength weakness manuscript honestly’. There increase perfection, transparency. Received file: Reviewer's Comments:
