“…7 The plant resembles a carrot plant with feathery leaves and threadlike divisions, growing on 20-30 cm (7.9-11.8 in) stems and the flower stem is tall, slender, branched, and hollow-stemmed, 30-80 cm (16-24 in) in height. A large number of phytoconstituents including different flavonoids, iso-flavonoids, flavonoid glycosides, monoterpenoids such as carvone and its derivatives, glucosides, lignins, and alkaloids, as well as polyacetylenic compounds, [8][9][10][11][12] different vitamins, amino acids, proteins, and minerals, also starch, sugars and other carbohydrates, tannins, phytic acid, and dietary fibers 13 are present in caraway. Carvone and limonene are usually reported as the main phytochemicals present in caraway seeds.…”

“…Actually the specific uses of spices tend to vary considerably among cultures and countries: medicine, religious rituals, cosmetics, perfumery, and foods. As food, they have been shown to play an important role in health partially as sources of nutrients [3,4]. From a nutritional view point research attention on spices conducted mostly but not exclusively in India and neighbouring countries has given rise to our knowledge of the volatile oils and vitamin and mineral contents [5,6].…”

The aim of this work was to contribute to our knowledge of the proximate composition, mineral and vitamin content of 20 edible wild plants used as spices in Cameroon. The plant species were collected from 3 different markets in the West Region of Cameroon and analysed for their content of crude proteins, and lipid, ash, moisture, available sugars, total phenols, carotenoids, minerals (Ca, Zn, K, Na, Mg, Al, Mn, Cu and Se), and vitamins (A, E and C) as well as for their pH and colour. Results revealed that all the plants were low in moisture (7.7 to 10.5 g/100g) but high in ash content (7.7 to 10.5 g/100g). Hua gabonii (bark) (1594.5 mg/100g) was relative source of calcium, Echinops giganteus (206.4 mg/100g) exhibited the highest level of iron and Scorodophleus zenkeri (310.0 µg/100g) the highest level of selenium. Generally all the plants were found to contain low levels of Zn, Cu and Mg. Wide variations were observed for the proteins and available sugars among the samples. The lipid content of some of the plants were surprisingly relatively high as was the case with Monodora myristica (53.4 g/100g), Xylopia aethiopica (33.7 g/100g), Fagara leprieuri (32.1 g/100g), and Aframomum daniellii (23.1 g/100g). All the plants were rich in phenols, carotenoids, vitamin E and C. They are dark in colour and in solution they tended to provoke a fair acidification.

“…(Babu et al, 2015) [13] carried out the elemental analysis in some of the important medicinal herbs from India. Recently, elemental analysis of Indian medicinal plants [14] was performed using (EDXRF) technique (Giridhar et al, 2015) [15].…”

“…This technique (WDXRF) is widely used to detect the elements in algae, in tea [17], milk-based products [18], in spices [14], of some plants used as condiments (Ӧzcan, 2004) [19], in medicinal plants [8,20], mineral composition of ten commercially available teas [21], and in potato starch by Noda et al, 2006 [22]. Previously, the mineral content in milk based products [23], in yoghurt [24], in legumes and nuts [25] and in some essential oils [26] was also estimated.…”

Ojective: This study is undertaken to identify the total mineral content of both the cytotypes from different plant parts, i.e., fruit, leaf, stem, and roots.Method: Wavelength dispersion X-ray fluorescence technique is a simple method, recognized as a nondestructive technique to determine the elements from the raw plant material without any chemical treatment and helps to ascertain the nutritional role. Result:The analysis of mineral content led to the identification and concentration analysis of twenty-seven elements in diploid cytotype and twentyfive in tetraploid cytotype. The percentage value of potassium (5.52%); iron (0.50%) and selenium (0.0042%) is reported to be higher in diploid cytotype and the amount of calcium (2.15%); magnesium (0.75%) and zinc (0.0075%) are higher in tetraploid cytotype. The analysis of mineral content led to the identification and concentration analysis of twenty-seven elements in diploid cytotype and twenty-five in tetraploid cytotype. The percentage value of potassium (5.52%); iron (0.50%) and selenium (0.0042%) is reported to be higher in diploid cytotype and the amount of calcium (2.15%); magnesium (0.75%) and zinc (0.0075%) are higher in tetraploid cytotype.

Conclusion:The amount of most of the minerals is higher in tetraploid cytotype as compared to the diploid cytotype. This information is very helpful in standardization of herbal products as this plant species is widely used for its medicinal benefits. Tnt of calcium (2.15%); magnesium (0.75%) and zinc (0.0075%) are higher in tetraploid cytotype..
