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…
ABSTRACTS Physiochemical parameters of water from London base bore hole were analyzed using standard chemical analytical procedures. The parameters tested for were odour, colour, taste, temperature, conductivity, TSS, total dissolving substances (TDS), Dissolved oxygen (DO), Biological Dissolved oxygen (BDO), Acidity, Alkalinity, sulphate and nitrate. The result revealed that the water sample were colourless, odourless and…
