Abstract:

Most vegetables, including Vernonia amygdalina (bitter leaf) and Ocimum gratissimum (scent leaf), play a vital role in supporting the healthy development of human organs. This study compared the nutritional values of these two vegetables through mineral and proximate analyses. Fresh samples of bitter leaf (Vernonia amygdalina) and scent leaf (Ocimum gratissimum) were obtained from a personal farm in Edjeba, located in the Warri South Local Government Area of Delta State. The vegetables were air-dried at room temperature, ground, and sieved using a 2mm sieve, then stored in sterile Ziploc bags

Abstract:

Scent leaf or Ocimum gratissimum is introduced to test its effectiveness as herbal purgatives in the treatment/eradication of gastrointestinal parasites in native chickens. Therefore, considering the side effects and the extracts and biologically protozoan builds against drugs, more attention should be given to the extracts and biologically active compounds which are isolated from plant species commonly used in herbal medicine. Hence, there is need for the study of potentials use of scent leaf (Ocimum gratissimmum) in the control of gastro-intestinal parasites of local free range chicken. A to

Abstract:

The leaves of Ocimum gratissimum having some ethno-medicinal applications were investigated. The phytochemicals screening of the leaves using Standard Methods and further analysis with HPLC revealed the presence of tannins, saponins, flavonoids, alkaloids, phlobatanins, terpenoids, steroids and cardiac glycosides. The elemental analysis was carried out using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). The result revealed the presence of Na (0.311±0.049), Ca (0.138 ±0.111), Mg (1.712 ± 0.537), K (0.261± 0.077), Mn (0.457±0.107, Pb (0.005 ± 0.002), Zn (0.200 ±0.06), Cu (0.803±0.818), N (0.286± 0.

Eighty day old Ross chicks were allotted to 4 dietary groups replicated twice with 10 birds per replicate in a complete randomized design(CRD). The study lasted for 8 weeks with feed and water offered ad-libitum. Data werencollected on haematological (packed cell volume, red blood cell, ha

Abstract:

Rice is an economically important crop and the most important staple food for the world’s population. The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of three botanical leaf powders, scent leaf, neem and paw-paw in the control of rice weevil Sitophilus oryzae on stored rice grain. The leaf powders were mixed with the rice grain at the quantities of 3g, 6g, 9g and 12g per 20g of rice. In the control, no treatment was used. The plant leaves were dried under room temperature and ground into fine powders. The experimental design adopted for the experiment was Complete Randomized Design (CRD) and

The present study examines the total phenolic and flavonoid content in the leaf and stalk of Ocimum gratissimum grown in Jos by using the maceration method for extraction. Ethanol and ethyl acetate were used as solvents for the extraction of bioactive compounds from the plant material. Total phenolic content (TPC) of the extracts was determined as Gallic Acid Equivalent (GAE). The results showed that the TPC of the ethyl acetate extract was significantly higher (231.78 ± 2.3609 mg/100g GAE) than that obtained from ethanol extract (182.61 ± 0.7765 mg/100g GAE).
