While qualitative analysis is concern with the presence or absence of a phytochemical, qualitative analysis is accounts for the quantity or concentration of phytochemical present in the plant sample. The proximate and phytochemical composition of dried leave of Combretum zenkeri were analyzed using the method of Association of Official Analytical Chemists (A.O.A.C). The result of proximate shows that the leave contained moisture (23.03 ± 0.04%), Ash content (17.31 ± 0.07%), Fat content (8.46 ± 0.01%), Fibre (10.29 ± 0.01%), Protein (6.55 ± 0.02%) and Carbohydrate content (35.39 ± 0.64%). The phytochemical constituents of leave recorded the following: Flavonoids (14.72 ± 0.06%), Alkaloids (20.57 ± 0.01%), Steroids (12.35 ± 0.01%), Saponin (34.77 ± 0.02%) and Tannins (1.54 ± 0.01%). The results showed that Combretum zenkeri leaves possess moderate concentrations of Carbohydrate, Alkaloids and saponin and the least levels of Protein and Tannins. ...Preview Download Preview +Other Chemistry project topics and materials you might be interested in»Minerals and phytochemical analysis of watermelon seeds (Citrullus Lanatus)»Kinectic study and heavy metals removals from used engine oil treated with groundnut shells»Production of hair growth oil and body lotion from Pumpkin and Pawpaw seed oil»Synthesis and exploration of ion nanoparticles using costus after flower extract as a reducing agent»Characteristics of humic substances from strongly acidic soil remediated and restored using humin enhanced biodegradable waste materials»Characteristics of humic substances from strongly acidic soil remediated and restored using CNB-TECH end product»Ethanol production from cocoyam peels»Biodiesel production using soybean oil and characterization»Analysis of the quality of groundwater (boreholes)»Phytochemical and proximate analysis of Combretum Zenkeri Ubi»Spectroscopic and phytochemical evaluation of methanolic extract of mahogany tree gum for possible biosynthetic process»Production of biolubricant from Carica Papaya seed oil»Biosynthesis of bark peel of aerial yam-magnesium oxide nano composites for biosensing application»Comparative study of physico-chemical properties and essential mineral of some fruit juice orange and tomato»Determination of total hydrocarbon and total petroleum hydrocarbon in the sediments of Oturuba river
