“…It is not necessary to supplement this mineral as excessive copper intake can lead to toxicity. Toxic levels of copper can cause vomiting, joints and muscle pain, and with extreme overdosing it can even be fatal [42]. These values are similar to those obtained from other study for Pterocarpus santalinoides (0.38 mg/100 g) [43].…”

The aim of this study was to evaluate the nutritional and health implication of Pterocarpus santalinoides (Uturukpa) and Napoleona imperialis (Mkpodu) leaves. The vegetables were harvested from the forest in Udi Local Government area in Enugu State and identified at The vegetables were trimmed and washed with deionized water and drained. The vegetables were ground using hammer mill into paste separately and coded as sample A (Pterocarpus santalinoides) and sample B (Napoleona imperialis). Both samples were analyzed in the laboratory for proximate, vitamins, minerals, anti-nutrients and phytochemicals. The results were analyzed statistically using mean and standard deviation. The result showed that the proximate composition (on wet wt. basis) of sample A and B were protein 1.06 and 5.27%, fat 0.98 and 0.71%, fibre 0.90 and 1.01%, ash 2.73 and 1.27% and carbohydrate 30.63 and 23.54% respectively. The vitamin constituents were beta carotene 360.00 and 360.00 µg/100 g, vitamin C 5.20 and 7.13 mg/100 g Umerah et al.; EJNFS, 11(3): 143-155, 2019; Article no.EJNFS.2019.021 144 and vitamin E 2.80 and 1.45 mg/100 g for sample A and B respectively. The result of the minerals were iron 3.49 and 1.40 mg/100 g, zinc 0.92 and 2.10 mg/100 g, calcium 36.00 and 25.60 mg/100 g, magnesium 20.01 and 25.20 mg/100 g and potassium 11.27 and 70.92 mg/100 g for sample A and B respectively. The result of the pyhtochemicals revealed that both leaves contained an appreciable amount of phytochemicals which are component of herbs use for ethnomedicine. The anti-nutrients in sample A and B were cyanide 0.48 and 0.94%, oxalate 1.08 and 3.87% and phytate 0.25 and 6.01% respectively. The high protein, fibre and mineral content of Napoleona imperialis is of interest, hence these lesser known vegetables are recommended due to its high nutritional content and health benefit.

“…Increased intestinal uptake of phosphate, magnesium, and calcium, as well as a variety of other biological effects, are all attributed to vitamin D(Achikanuet al, 2020). When eaten in sufficient amounts, the tested plant samples are good sources of B and D complex and can be used to maintain good health in humans and animals (Okezie et al, 2018).…”

The micronutrients and antinutrient (minerals and vitamins) contents of oha seed (Pterocarpusmildbreadii), were analyzed using accepted methods after the minerals value of the plant seeds has been grounded and converted to paste.The micronutrients assay revealed the presence of calcium (Ca 2+ ), potassium (K + ), copper (Cu 2+ ), iron (Fe 2+ ), magnesium (Mg 2+ ), manganese (Mn 2+ ) and phosphorous (P + ) in the seed sample. The highest micro element found was potassium (K + ) and least was zinc (Zn 2+ ) with 13926.96 mg/kg and 1.567 mg/kg in Pterocarpusmildbreadii seeds respectively. The results obtained revealed the presence of fat-soluble vitamins D and one water-soluble vitamins B. Vitamin D was found to be 33.28µg/100g while vitamin B 1 was 2.92mg/100g. Other quantified antinutrients were phenol, glycosides,saponnin, tannin, terpenes and steroids which ranges from 0.329% to 0.0051%. The result showed that the oha seeds contain appreciable number of micronutrients, vitamins and low level of antinutrients and could contribute to the recommended dietary allowance of the body.
