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 […]

ABSTRACT Proximate analysis of Pterocarpus mildbraedii leaves was carried out using the research procedure. The result obtained were as follows. Moisture (55.925± 0.112)Ash (12.6750 ± 0.120),Fat (6.625±0.120), Crude protein (14.90±0.127), Carbohydrate (54.96±1.44), Caloric value (393.115±0.149). Pterocarpus mildbraedii leaves is a vegetable and is a good source for human consumption and values, it should therefore consumed

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

ABSTRACT The aim of this study is to determine the elemental composition of Talinum triangulare leaves. The sample for study was collected from the local market in Ikot Ekpene local government area. Standard analytical method were used in carrying out the analysis. The result of the analysis revealed the following: Cu (1.79±0.34 mg/100g), Zn (11.39±1.44

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

ABSTRACT The analysis of mineral composition in Turmeric (Curcuma longa) found within Ikot Ekpene Local Government Area was carried out using standard analytical method. The result of the analysis (mg/100ml) showed the K. 84.765 ± 0.52 0.51618, Na 67.55± 6.29323; Mg 15.015 ± 0.2757; Cu 2.295± 0.33234. The mean value of the parameters of Curcuma

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
