ABSTRACT This study was aim at determining the proximate composition of Tetrapleura tetraptera fruit. The sample was collected from a local market (Urua Ator) in Ikot Ekpene L.G.A., and standard analytical methods were used to analyze the samples. The result of the study revealed the following; Moisture (20.52±0.05%), Ash (15.20±0.07%), crude fibre (20.95±0.15%), crude fat (8.98±0.09%), crude protein (25.10±0.19%), carbohydrate (29.77±0.06%), and caloric value (300.30±0.18%). This indicate that the fruit contains some rich nutritional components as such, it is recommended…

ABSTRACT Phytochemical screening of fresh tomatoes were carried out using standard analytical test. Phytochemical screening results showed that the fresh tomatoes sample had high concentration of flavonoids and cardiac glycosides which is potent in inhibiting cancer activation. Saponin were indicated in moderate concentrations, the concentration of Tannin were occurred in Trace whereas Alkaloid were absent which is not detected in the sample. The effect of fresh tomatoes and the medicinal role of the phytochemical which possess therapeutic properties are examined….

ABSTRACT Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) is the largest known edible fruit which utilized parts are the bulb and seed while unutilized parts are the peels, core, and fibre. It weighs about 3.5-10kg and sometimes up to 25kg. The analysis of macro-mineral of jackfruit was carried out using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. From the result, it was observed that jackfruit is composed of the following concentrations, calcium, (23.41±0.29mg/100g), sodium (7.53±0.51mg/100g), magnesium (2.41±0.48mg/100g), potassium (1.53±0.084mg/100g), and phosphorus (0.091±0.01mg/100g) respectively. From the result obtained, the…

ABSTRACT The inhibition of mild steel in 0.1M HCl solution using gravimetric method. The result obtained showed that alloxazine +KI is a good inhibitive of mild steel corrosion in HCl solution. The inhibition efficiency increased by 49% with increase in the inhibitor concentration of 10 x104MmKI. Physical absorption has been proposed for the absorption of the organic compound on the mild steel surface.   TABLE OF CONTENT PAGES TITLE PAGE        –         –         –         –         –         –         –         –         i CERTIFICATION…
