“…The differences in the values may be due to soil, genetic factor or harvesting period. The zinc content in the samples implies that roselle calyces could play a major role in normal body development, since zinc is essential element in protein and nucleic acid synthesis (Mielcarz et al, 1997). The values obtained for manganese were in agreement with the 2.39mg/100g in red calyx and 5.61mg/100g in green reported by Adanlawo and Ajibade (2006) and .39±0.03mg/100g in red calyx by Azza, et al, (2011).…”

“…However, Adanlawo and Ajibade (2006) reported the absence of Cu in their work. Deficiency of copper causes cardiovascular disorders as well as anaemia and disorders of the bone and nervous systems (Mielcarz et al, 1997 of the three varieties of roselle calyces were below the critical level of 0.5, 10, 0.2 and 0.4 respectively and these indicates good bioavailability of Ca, Fe and Zn due to phytate (Hassan et al, 2008, Hassan et al, 2011. The observed values in this work indicated that consumption of the three varieties is not likely to have health risk.…”

INTRODUCTION Traditional African vegetables are extremely important for nutrition and are source of farm income, as they often supply most of the daily requirements for proteins, minerals and vitamins to the poor rural people (Okafor, 1995. It has been reported that nutrient deficiency diseases such as night blin scurvy and rickets common among Africans, can be avoided by greater consumption of nutritious vegetables (Mnzava, 1997). Hibiscus sabdariffa linn commonly called roselle is an annual erect, bushy herbaceous sub shrub with smooth or nearly smooth, cylindrical red stem. The plant is widely grown in the North and middle belt regions of Nigeria probably because of the climate (Babalola et al., 2001). The plant has been found to thrive on a wide range of soil conditions. It can perform satisfactorily on relatively infertile soils but for economic purposes, a soil well supplied with organic materials and essential nutrients is required (Adanlawo and Ajibade, 2006). It can tolerate relatively high temperature throughout the growing and fruiting periods. The plant requires an optimum rainfall of approximately 45 distributed over a 90-120 days growi (Amin et al., 2008). The plant is gaining wide acceptance, being consumed by several millions of people from different socioeconomic classes and background in the West African sub ABSTRACT The mineral and anti-nutrient composition of Hibiscuss sabdariffa linn calyces of dark red, red and white varieties from three sites in Zuru, Kebbi State, Nigeria. The sun dried samples were analysed for proximate, mineral, anti and Zn were analysed using AAS determined by the vanadomolybdadate method and ascorbic acid by spectrophotometric method. Phytic acid, oxalate and nitrate were determined using titration method. Saponin and cyanogenic glycoside were determined by gravimetric and spectrophotometric methods respectively. Only the concentrations for Ca and Mg (among the macro elements) showed no significant difference (p< 0.05) among the three varieties. Only the concentrations for Fe and Cu (among the micro elements) showed no significant difference (p< 0.05). The concentrations for ascorbic acid also showed no significant difference (p< 0.05). Similarly, the concentrations for Phytate and saponins showed no significant difference (p< Therefore, there is no much difference in the choice of dark red, red or white calyces of H. sabdariffa collected from Zuru for the purpose of supplying to the body Mg, Ca, Fe, Cu and Ascorbic acid.

Cadmium is considered non-essential elements of the human being and existence, even in small amounts may cause some health problems such as kidney failure and heart disease [28]- [30]. And generally may be due to the high concentration of some elements of this topic in the sample to the site, which grew when this kind of trees and over the proximity of the various sources of pollution (a main road, factory)…”

Dietary copper deficiency may impair cardiovascular health by contributing to high blood pressure, enhancement of inflammation, anemia, reduced blood clotting and arteriosclerosis. The purpose of this review is to compile information on the numerous changes of the heart, blood and blood vessels that may contribute to these cardiovascular defects. These alterations include weakened structural integrity of the heart and blood vessels, impairment of the use of energy by the heart, reduced ability of the heart to contract, altered ability of blood vessels to control their diameter and to grow, and altered structure and function of circulating blood cells. The fundamental causes of these changes rest largely on reduced effectiveness of enzymes that depend on copper for their activity.
