Comparative Analysis of the Phytochemical and Nutrient Evaluation of the Seeds and Leaves of Plukenetia conophora plant

摘要: Samples of Plukenetia conophora fresh seeds and leaves were analysed for Proximate composition, secondary metabolites, Vitamins Mineral constituents. The result proximate analysis shows that the respectively contained  46.03±0.03% 29±0.71% moisture, 4.28±0.01%  5.63±0.08% fat, 7.34±0.71% 14.92±0.04% fibre, 21.65±0.5% 16.62±0.30% protein, 5.27±1.35% 12.89±0.02% Ash, 18.10±0.01%  20.94±0.01% carbohydrate. phytochemical screening subsequent quantification seed revealed presence tannin, 0.089±0.01mg/kg 0.560±0.01mg/kg, alkaloid, 2.380±0.2mg/kg 2.670±0.02, gallic acid, 0.024±0.01mg/kg 0.180±0.02mg/kg.
