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...

This study was aimed at investigating the antianeamic of Spondiasmombin on iron deprived rats. The effects of oral administration of aqueous extract of Spondiasmombin leaf at doses of 100, 200 and 300mg/kg body weight on haematological parameters, of iron sufficient and iron deprived rats were investigated. Forty (40) albino rats were used for the study. Ten (10) rats were fed with iron suffici...

This Research aimed to study on effect of foliar spraying with zinc (as zinc sulphate), nitrogen (as urea) and iron (as sulphate and chelated Fe) on growth parameters, quality of fruit, flower characteristics, chemical constituents and nutrients content of leaves on grapevine. Applied nutrients were zinc sulphate (Zn) of 0.0 and 1.5gl-1 and urea (N) at 0.0 and 5 gl-1 and Fe (1) control (low Fe)...

Morphological and biochemical studies of Crataegus crenulata Syn. Pyracantha crenulata fruits have been carried out and an herbal formulation was prepared from its fruit juice. The small sized berries weighing 250 mg each and 4000±32 fruits in 1 kg weight contain 25 per cent fruit juice. Biochemical analysis of fruit juice quantified 0.11±0.015 percent protein, 0.08±0.001 percent calcium, 0.022...

Coffee is the most popular beverage all over the world. Bioactive profile of coffee is enriched with important phytochemicals dominated by the caffeine and chlorogenic acid. Present project uploading the chemical profile of different coffee samples and evaluating the effect of decaffeination on their chemical status. Caffeine contents were varied between 0.036 to 1.18%. Result regarding proxima...

The proximate, mineral composition and amino acid profile of the body parts of Macrobrachium vollenhovenii (African river prawn) and Tympanotonus fuscatus (tropical periwinkle) were determined. The length and weight of the prawns varied from 15cm to 17.6cm and 72.76g to 130.65g respectively while the length and weight of the periwinkles varied from 22.72mm to 54.72mm and 1.53g to 7.59g respecti...

“Dakuwa" a traditional Nigerian snack made from cereals and legumes was produced finger millet (FM), groundnut (G/Nut), moringa oleifera seed (MS) flour to form five samples A (FM 100: G/Nut MS: 0), B 50: 50) C 40: 60) D 30: 70) E 20: 80). Proximate, mineral, vitamins, antinutrients sensory properties of the products were investigated. Proximate composition revealed that, moisture content range...

O ácido fólico tem sido identificado como uma das mais importantes vitaminas para a função normal do metabolismo humano. A deficiência de ferro é um sério problema de saúde que afeta uma grande proporção da população do mundo. No Brasil, foi publicada uma regulamentação indicando que farinhas de milho e trigo devem ser fortificadas com ácido fólico e ferro. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar...
