Abstract

In this study, a phytochemical, proximate, mineral analysis of the leaves and bulb of the plant was carried out using standard procedures, The results show that hexane, ethylacetate and methanol extracts of the leaves and bulb of the plant contain different phytochemicals. The ethyl acetate extract of the bulb (98.340 mgGAE/g sample) had the highest phenolic content. This is followed by the methanol extract of the leaves (71.150 mgGAE/g sample) and bulb (53.950 mgGAE/g sample). The crude protein, ash and crude fibre contents of the leaves are 20.41%, 16.80 %, and 42 %, respectively. These values are higher than those obtained for the bulb which had values of 16.77%, 6.90%, and 31.25 %for crude protein, ash and crude fibre, respectively. The potassium content of the leaves was 877 mg/100 g while a value of 941 mg/100g was obtained for the bulb. The calcium content of the leaves was 268 mg/100 g while that of the bulb was 278 mg/100 g. The magnesium content of the leaves was 315 mg/100 g while a value of 326 mg/100 g was obtained for the bulb. The iron content of the leaves was 18.97 mg/100g while that of the bulb was estimated as 19.27 mg/100g. The zinc contents for the leaves and bulb were 5.67 mg/100 g and 6.25 mg/100 g, respectively. C. jagus leaves and bulbs could be potential sources of food.
