The whole plant was analyzed for proximate and mineral element compositions. The results indicate that the plant contains useful nutrients for use in dietary preparations of functional foods. Carbohydrate (42.05) was found to present in the highest concentration followed by crude fibre (18.47). protein, fat was (13.29) and (7.13) respectively with an adequate moisture content of (10.67). the phytochemical screening of the plant extracts revealed the presence of alkaloids (2.84). saponin (4.47), tannins (18.1) and flavonoids (0.35). The present study demonstrated that Phyllanthus Niruri is a valuable plant for naturaceuticals and dietary supplements. ...Preview Download Preview +Other Science Technology project topics and materials you might be interested in»Sugar contents in three different soft drinks (Lacasera, Sprite, Schweppes)»Design and construction of cell phone charger»Bacteriological qualities of food thickener deuterium microcarpum (ofor) and brachystegia eurcycoma (achi) sold in Owerri main market»Physiochemical assessment of soil samples from Nwambe Reserve Forest, Ndubia Igagu Izzi L.G.A, Ebonyi State.»Physico-chemical assessment of soil sample from Igbagu reserve forest in Ebonyi State»Qualitative production of biodiesel using neem seed oil»Obstacle detection robot with ultrasonic sensor»Fungi associated with the deterioration of in-can and painted walls of Akanu Ibiam Federal Polytechnic, Uwana»Pharmacological activities of plant secondary metabolites»Antitrypanosomal activity of ethanol extract of Tridax Procumbent leaf and whole flower on T.
