“…The values of B1 (thiamin), B2 (riboflavin) B3 (Niacin), B6 (Pyridoxine) obtained in monkey apple fruit were also higher than reported by [20] in banana guava, okra, brinjal and spinach. These vitamins are recommended during pregnancy for lactating women and adolescents during growth and against chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, morning sickness, insomnia, anxiety, anti-tuberculosis medication and Post Menstrual Syndrome [21].…”

The aim of this study was to determine the chemical composition, nutritional properties and antioxidant activity of Monkey apple methanol extract. Results expressed on dry matter basis revealed the seeds contained the following: 2.74% protein, 15.86% crude fat, 7.67% crude fiber, 468.74kcal, 82.01% moisture content, 5.72% ash, 88.98% carbohydrate. The seeds further contained considerable amounts of minerals and vitamins as follows: 14.14mg/100g for iron, 2.37mg/100g for potassium, 1434.38mg/100g for manganese, 82.71mg/100g for magnesium, 185.49mg/100g for calcium, 28.33mg/kg for ascorbic acid, 13.33mg/kg for thiamine and 55.83mg/kg for pyridoxine. Furthermore, it was found out that both the seeds and pulps were also rich in the following: 297.49-304.94mg QE/100g for total flavonoids, 2086.98-2304.72mgGAE/100g for total phenolics, 1.6-96400mg/kg for citric acid, 5880-9280mg/kg for malic acid, 960-1040mg/kg for tartaric acid, 30.8-38.8mg/kg for fumaric acids, 232-660mg/100g for oxalates, 1186.67-1320mg/100g for phytic acid and 130.23-515.23mg/100g for tannins. The seeds and pulp oils were also found to be rich in unsaturated fatty acids ranging from 46.27-50.21%. Our results therefore demonstrate that Monkey apple could serve as supplementary source of essential nutrient and antioxidant components with health benefits.

“…The difference might be due to the differences in storage and rate of maturity of vegetables, and also different assay method used for vitamin determination. Ismail et al (2013) reported that vitamin contents of fruits and vegetables can vary with small variations worldwide because of environmental factors on soil, air and water.…”

This experiment was conducted to study the effects of supplementing green feed-water spinach (Ipomoea aquatica) to basal diet on growth performance and nutrient digestibility of broiler chickens. A total of 120 male Cobb 500 broiler chickens aged 21 days were randomly allocated to three dietary treatments by using a randomized complete block design (RCBD). Each treatment consisted of five replicates and eight birds per replicate. From 22-49 days, the grower chickens were exposed to the three different experimental diets: diet 1-basal diet containing 0.4 % vitamin-mineral premix (control), diet 2basal diet containing 0.2 % vitamin-mineral premix + 34.5 g fresh water spinach (Ipomoea aquatica), and diet 3-basal diet without vitamin-mineral premix + 69 g fresh water spinach. Growth performances were measured and calculated on weekly basis. On day 49, three birds of each treatment group with almost similar body weight were selected and placed in individual cages. Feed intake was recorded for each bird every day and total faeces were collected on three consecutive days. In order to calculate the digestibility value of experimental diets, the dry matter (DM) and crude protein (CP) content of feed and faeces were determined. There were no significant effects on growth performances through feed consumption, body weight, weight gain and feed conversion ratio (FCR) of broiler chickens. The digestibility of feed DM and feed CP was not significantly different (P>0.05) among the treatments. Further, diets supplemented with water spinach had no adverse effect on growth performance and nutrients digestibility of broiler chickens. It can be concluded that the more expensive vitamin-mineral component of the ration can be replaced by the lower cost and widely available water spinach.

“…As indicated by a study of the level of vitamin B 9 in selected fruits and vegetables described by Ismail et al [17], the highest folate was found for banana, carrot (D. carota), and brinjal (S. melongena).…”

“…Indications of a lack of riboflavin are anemia and migraine prophylaxis [19]. According to Ismail et al, the riboflavin can be found in natural food items, such as [17] brinjal (Solanum melongena) and spinach (S. oleracea). Current research on the importance of vitamin B 2 focus on the preventive action of an adequate supply of the vitamin with regard to cardiovascular disease, cancer, and vision problems [20].…”
