Nutritional profiling of garden egg stalk Solanum macrocarpum L. (Solanales: Solanaceae)

Abstract: This study was carried out to evaluate the nutritional properties of Solanum macrocarpum L. (Solanales: Solanaceae) (garden egg) stalk using standard methods. Sulphates and chloride were the most abundant anions while calcium and magnesium were the predominant mineral cations. Results for the proximate composition showed high carbohydrates (27.70%), fibre contents (22.94%), and ash (18.83%) while the phytochemical composition showed higher ribalinidine, catechin, and phenol contents. Vitamin B 6 , C, A, and B … Show more

“…The eggplant exhibits a notable concentration of mineral ions including, potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), iron (Fe), zinc (Zn) and manganese (Mn) which make it useful as a medicinal plant. It also contains phytochemicals such as tannins, alkaloids, phenol, oxalate, as well as various vitamins (Ogunka-Nnoka and Ekrika, 2018;Ikpeazu et al, 2019;Guillermo et al, 2014;Sharma and Kaushik, 2021). Eggplant contains elevated concentrations of amino acids, which constitute a crucial constituent of cellular protein, and significant amounts of vitamins A and B (Naeem and Ugur, 2019).…”
