DETERMINATION OF THE PHYTOCHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF Corchorus capsularis LEAVES

ABSTRACT

Analysis of phytochemical content of Corchorus capsularis was carried out using standard analytic method. The result revealed that Alkaloid had the mean concentration of 2.45±0.177mg/100g, Saponin had a mean concentration of 0.865±0.163mg/100g. Flavonoid had a mean concentration of 18.375±0.177 mg.100g, Tannin had a mean concentration of 6.72±0.410 mg/100g and cyanogenic glycosides had a mean concentration of 19.29±0.704mg/100g. This result showed that Corchorus capsularis contain low level of phytochemical and may be use as a source of mineral and could also be a good energy source,  Thus, it may be consumed without any hazardous effect.
