“…The collected leaves were first washed thoroughly 2-3 times with running tap water and once with sterile water to remove the dust particles as recommended by Badau et al, (2013) and Pillai and Nair (2013). The leaves were air-dried at 25 °C for 25 days, milled in powder with a mechanical blender, sieved through 20-mesh and stored at room temperature under dry conditions in an air tight plastic containers for analysis (Nair Archana et al, 2013 ;Senga Kitumbe et al, 2013). Chemical analysis was carried out on both fresh material and powdered leaves of C. crepiodiodes and C. rubens for the following constituent: water, proteins, lipids, ashes, mineral components (calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, and sodium) and vitamin C (Nair Archana et al, 2013;Senga Kitumbe et al, 2013).…”

“…The sample was analysed for moisture, crude protein, crude fat and ash content. Crude protein was determined by using the Kjeldahl method (Nair et al, 2013). The moisture and crude fat were determined according to the procedure of Association of Official Analytical Chemist (AOAC, 1990).…”

“…The samples were incineratedin the oven at a temperature of 550 °C for 3 hours. The samples of C. crepidioides and C. rubens were each digested using a mixture of concentrated Nitric (HNO 3 ), perchloric (HClO 4 ) and sulphuric (H 2 SO 4 ) acids in the ratio 9:2:1 (v/v) respectively (Nair et al, 2013). Copper (Cu), iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), sodium (Na), potassium (K), calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) and Manganese (Mn) were determined by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS) (PerkinElmer AAnalyst 700, England).…”

“…Potassium is important in the regulation of heart beat, neurotransmission and water balance of the body (Alinor and Oze, 2011). High amount of potassium in the body was reported to increase iron utilization (Nair et al, 2013) and beneficial to people taking diuretics to control hypertension and suffer from excessive excretion of potassium through the body fluid (Nair et al, 2013). The WHO recommended intake of potassium per day is 2000 mg for adult and 1600 mg for children.…”

Gbolo (Crassocephalum crepidioides and Crassocephalum rubens) is a traditional leafy vegetable highly consumed in southern and central Benin, as well as in some part of northern Benin. The nutritional potential of the two species of Gbolo were evaluated through their proximate composition, mineral and vitamin C profile using recommended AOAC method of analysis. The analysis revealed that the contents in raw protein, total lipids, ash and carbohydrates expressed in % of dry matter were 27.13±0.01%,3.45± 0.00%,19.02± 0.01%and 42.22 ± 0.04% for C. crepidioides; 26.43± 0.01%, 2.75± 0.01%, 19.76± 0.05% and 43.11±0.10 % for C. rubens respectively. The content of vitamin C for 100g of fresh leaf is of 9.17 mg for C. crepidioides and 3.60 mg for C. rubens. The moisture content (% of cool matter) and the total metabolizable energy (kcal/100 g of dried matter) were respectively 86.79± 0.04 %and 308.45 ± 0.28 for C. crepidioides and 87.95% ± 0.07 %and 302.91 ± 0.56 for C. rubens. The result of the mineral composition indicated that the sodium (Na), potassium (K), phosphorus (P), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), iron (Fe), Manganese (Mn) and Copper (Cu) contents were higher in C. rubensthan in C. crepidioides. With regard to the obtained values, the Gbolo vegetable showed a satisfactory composition and a significant variability between the mineral salts in its two species and can be valorised for a balanced nutrition of populations. Efforts should be made for the promotion of its wide cultivation and consumption.

“…The Diplazium esculentum is a wild edible vegetable with having reducing sugar content of 21.5 mg/g (Archana et al 2013), which is comparable with that of aerial parts of A. tortuosum. Similarly, some leafy vegetables like mint, coriander, curry leaves have a reducing sugar range of 3-5% (Vyankatrao 2015).…”

Abstract. Dhakal L, Aryal B, Joshi GP, Pant DR. 2020. Nutritional potential of selected species of Arisaema Mart. from Nepal. Biodiversitas 21: 5703-5709. Species of Arisaema Mart. are believed to be poisonous, but few species are used as food in different communities. Therefore, an assessment of nutritional properties of six selected taxa of Arisaema including three edible taxa was made in order to find out their nutritional potential. Methanolic or aqueous extracts of samples (rhizomes and aerial parts) were analyzed for various nutritional and anti-nutritional parameters. On nutritional basis, the total starch content and total reducing sugar were found highest (25.71±0.04mg/g powder) and (46.73±0.06 mg/g extract), respectively in aerial parts of A. echinatum. Total protein and phosphorus content was highest in rhizome of A. tortuosum var. curvatum. Similarly, extracts of aerial parts of A. tortuosum var. curvatum also possessed highest amount of total phenolic content (52.67±0.24mg GAE/g), total flavonoid content (14.13 ± 0.03 mg QE/g), and also demonstrated best antioxidant activity (IC50, 108.59±0.54 µg/mL) in terms of DPPH radical scavenging activity among the selected taxa. Inhibition of α-amylase and α-glucosidase in vitro was found to be highest (78.82 %) in rhizome extracts of A. echinatum and extracts of aerial parts of A. concinnum (34.82 %), respectively.
