“…This positive influence of fruits in human health is attributed to natural antioxidant phytochemicals inherent in them (Venket Rao et al, 2013). Interestingly, Matsinkou et al (2012) showed that I. wombulu seeds possess antioxidant phytochemicals. Phytochemicals such as alkaloids, saponins and tannins have been shown to be very important in agriculture; known to protect plants against microorganisms, and also possess allelopathic properties (Matsinkou et al, 2012;Boakye et al, 2015).…”

The chemical analyses of bush mango (Irvingia wombulu) was conducted in order to identify the bioactive content, proximate composition as well as to establish the vitamin composition in bush mango production. The extraction processes were carried out with the aid of different solvents and techniques. The analyses was conducted with aqueous extract of the milled seed of Irvingia wombulu which found the bioactive components present in form of tannins, saponin, flavonoids, steroid, protiens, anthraquinnones, protein, reducing sugar, cardiac glycoside, terpenopid, phenolic compounds and alkaloids. Flavonoid, cardiac glycoside andalkaloids were moderately present (+) while tannis, saponins, steroids, protein and reducing sugar were heavily present(++). Further, the results from the analyses displayed the proximate composition in Irvingia wombulu leaves, peels, seeds and seed coats samples. The moisture contents in seeds, leaves, peels and seed coats of Irvingia wombulu were 1.4±0.41%, 22.2±0.11%, 38.7±0.01%, and 57.6±0.90% respectively. The test found that the mineral contents of Irvingia wombulu in the seed coats had the highest concentration of iron (0.395±0.00 mg/kg) and 0.040±0.02mg/kg was found in the seed. The trend in the level of concentration of sodium in I. wombulu revealed that leaves has more sodium than seeds and seeds more than seed coats, peels is the least. For calcium, the analyses revealed that the level of concentration in the seed coats had higher mineral content of 4.992±0.01 mg/kg as compared to the lower level of concentration in the seeds at 3.278±0.01 mg/kg. The analyses further showed vitamin B2 composition known riboflavin as one of the 8 -B vitamins. The value of vitamin B2 was high in Irvingia wombolu at 0.17mg/100g with vitamin B6 content having 0.14gm/100g. The production of these chemical components would contribute to health benefits of the rural dwellers. The high bioactive content potential and the presence of proximates, mineral content, vitamins produced at different levels in bush mango (Irvingia wombulu) should be utilized to develop drugs and supplements for its ethno-medicinal benefits and to generate internal revenue for the FRIN biomedical department.
