Purpose: To carry out phytochemical and physicochemical studies on the leaves of Gynura segetum. Methods: Preliminary phytochemical and physicochemical studies using chromatographic techniques,were carried out, Parameters evaluated include ash value, loss on drying and extractive value, amongst others. . Results: Phytochemical results revealed that the leaves of Gynura segetum contain alkaloid,...

The thin-layer drying behavior of sprouted wheat (cv. PBW 550) was experimented at different periods, such as 24 h, 36 h and 48 h. samples were dried in a tray dryer 50–80οC an interval 10°C. moisture ratio fitted to the six models, performance models assessed by statistical parameters. Wang Singh model has accurately predicted for all sprouting periods temperatures. In addition, effective diff...
