Proximate and phytochemical composition of Phyllantus amarus

Phytochemicals and Antimicrobial potential of Phyllantus amarus Schum and Thonn obtained in Ebonyi State, Nigeria

The antimicrobial efficiency of Phyllanthus amarus Schum. and Thonn, medicinal plants (leaf extracts), was examined using ethanol and chloroform as solvents and tested against human pathogens ; Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Candida albican, using the agar well-diffusion method and minimum inhibitory concentration. The result of the phytochemical analysis of the plant showed that ...

Phytochemical 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%)...

Proximate composition, phytochemical analysis, and in vitro antioxidant potentials of extracts of Annona muricata (Soursop)

Numerous bioactive compounds and phytochemicals have been reported to be present Annona muricata (Soursop). Some of these chemical compounds have been linked to the ethnomedicinal properties of the plant and its antioxidant properties. The aim of this study was to assess the proximate composition, phytochemical constituents and in vitro antioxidant properties of A. muricata using standard bioch...

Pharmacognostical and Phytochemical studies of Phyllanthus amarus leaves

Phytochemical and Proximate Analyses of Psidium Guajava Leaves

The phytochemical and proximate analyses of Psidium guajava leaves were determined using the methods of association of official analytical chemists (A.O.A.C). The quantitative analyses showed the concentrations (mg/100g) of the phytochemical constituents as flavonoids (0.40 ± 0.02), tannins (0.55 ± 0.01), glycosides (3.76 ± 0.08), alkaloids (0.04 ± 0.00), saponins (3.01 ± 0.01), phenols (0.28 ±...
