- W2897835034 abstract "Malacantha alnifolia has been widely utilized in traditional medicine, but reports on its phytoconstituents are scarce in literature. The roots were collected, shade dried, extracted with n-hexane and chromatographed on silica gel packed column. GC-MS experiment conducted on compounds obtained from n-hexane extract of M. alnifolia exhibited three known fatty acids: tridecanoic acid (1), pentadecanoic acid (2) and octadecenoic (oleic) acid (3); alongside a cyclic ester (heptadecanolide, 4) and an unsaturated monoglyceride (Z, Z 9,12-octadecadienoic acid, 5). Quantitative estimation of the phytochemicals in the pulverized roots of M. alnifolia revealed steroids (43.74±1.00 mg/100g), saponnins (9.69 ± 1.25 mg/100g) and alkaloids (8.61± 1.20 mg/100g). Mineral estimation of the roots sample afforded Ca (144.27± 2.50 ppm), Fe (4.23 ± 0.25 ppm), Pb (0.06 ± 0.01 ppm), Zn (0.61 ± 0.05 ppm), Cu (1.00 ± 0.20 ppm), P (7.25 ± 0.70 ppm) and Mg (118.13 ± 3.30 ppm). Proximate estimation revealed that M. alnifolia contained crude fibre (6.85± 0.30 %), ash content (19.6 ± 1.10 %), dry matter (9.00 ± 0.50 %), moisture content (13.61± 0.20 %), crude fat (49.20 ±1.30 %) and crude protein (5.39 ± 0.40 %). The results obtained in this study confirmed nutrition potentials of M. alnifolia. The roots of the plant can also be a good source of fat and the presence of important phytochemicals in the plant provides scientific justification attributable to its folkloric application in traditional medicine in South-Western Nigeria.. Key words: Malacantha alnifolia root extracts, tridecanoic acid, Pentadecanoic acid, heptadecanoic acid, proximate analysis, nutrient content" @default.
