The results of the proximate composition showed that the leaves of Rosemary had moisture content (7.50%), ash content (24.49%), lipid (29.52%), protein (15.00%), fiber (7.45%) and carbohydrate (16.04%) while bay leaves had moisture content (8.83%), ash content (12.00%), lipid (29.17%), protein (19.00%), fibre (7.00%), carbohydrate (24.00%) respectively. The phytochemical analysis showed that the Rosemary leaves and bay leaves contained tannin, Saponin and alkaloid. steroids were absent in the two leaves. The findings indicated that Rosemary and Bay leaves are potential sources of essential nutrient and phytochemicals. The leaves are of nutritional and medical relevance considering the contents....Preview Download Preview +Other Biochemistry project topics and materials you might be interested in»Phytochemical and nutritive composition of fluted pumpkin»Determination of ascorbic acid in selected fruits mango, orange and pineapple using spectro-photometric method»Comparative evaluation of heavy metal loads in some selected soft drinks in Owerri, Imo state»Antilipidemic effect of water (H2O) extract of desmodium velutinum leaves on albino Wistar rats»The effect of water extract of cola nitida pod on lipoprotein concentrations of albino Wistar rats»Preliminary investigation on effects of burantashi extract on lipoproteins of albino male and female whistar rats»The extraction of manganese (iv) ion from aqueous media using 1-phethyl-3-methyl pyrazolone-5»Nutritive value, anti-nutrient and mineral composition of cashew nut (Anacardium Occidentale)»Evaluation of the immunomodulatory effect of oral administration of the methanol extract of gongronema latifolium (utazi) in wistar albino rats»Comparative study on the free radical scavenging potential of turmeric and beetroot»Phytochemicals and minerals analysis of rosary pea (Abrus Precatorious leaves)»Determination of total petroleum hydrocarbons in Niger river»Qualitative phytochemical and gas chromatography mass spectrometry GCMS of Nhexane extracted leaves of sabicea calycina»Hydrogen peroxide scavenging activities and reducing power of various fruits juice in Yenagoa»Charges in the concentration of nitric oxide in the serum gills brain liver and kidney of clarias gariepinus exposed to glyphosatebased herbicide
