Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The Anacardium occidentale L nut phytochemicals screening showed that with Glycosides (-), Tanins (+), flavonoids (+++), Alkaloids (++), Saponins (-) and the proximate composition (%) were as follows: moisture content (9.81 ± 0.2), ash content (3.48±0.3), crude fat (26.76± 0.3), crude protein (14.24 ± 0.01) carbohydrate (by difference) (44.98± 0.01) Calorific (Energy) value 482.18 Kcal. The mineral analysis (mg/100g) revealed that magnesium (3.51 ± 0.01), Manganese (2.00 ± 0.01), Nickel (3.23 ± 0.01) and Cobalt (0.13 ±0.01) while the phytochemical screening for Carica papaya seeds extracts also showed Glycosides (+), Tanins (++), flavonoids(++), Alkaloids(++), Saponins(-) for the moisture content (8.48 ± 0.3), ash content (3.95±0.01), crude fat (15.54± 0.2), crude protein (15.82 ± 0.01) carbohydrate (by difference) (41.60) Calorific (Energy) value 1546.87 Kcal. The mineral analysis (mg/100g) revealed that magnesium (3.0 ± 0.01), Manganese (0.21 ± 0.01), Nickel (3.43 ± 0.01) and Cobalt (0.17 ±0.01). The study therefore indicates that the Anacardium occidentale L nut and Carica may not provide all the nutrients required by human in the right proportion though it contains an appreciable quantity of some essential nutrients like Fats, Proteins, Carbohydrate and some minerals.

Commodity: Medicinal Plants

Objectives:

In this present study, the comparative analysis of phytochemicals screening, proximate and elemental analysis of Anacardium occidentale L nut and Carica papaya seeds extracts were analyzed.

Methodology:

Phytochemicals analysis The phytochemicals analysis for flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins, tanins and glycosides were both tested according to [16]. Elemental analysis Mineral compositions for Magnesium, Manganese, Nickel and Glycosides of Anacardium occidentale L nuts and Carrica papaya were determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometer according to [17] . Proximate analysis After bringing the samples to uniform size, they were analysed for moisture content, crude protein, crude fat, ash content, carbohydrate and energy value according to [17].
