| description | This study aimed to assess the nutritional and trace elements
composition of selected forest fruits sold for human consumption in
Port Harcourt. Fruit contamination by heavy metals is an issue of
global concern. Nondegradable elements bioaccumulations in tissues and
organs have deleterious effects in man. Three (3) Agroforestry fruits
species; ( Spondias cytherea L. (Anacardiaceae), Syzygium malaccense
(L.) Merr. & L. M. Perry Myrtaceae and Cola pachycarpa K. Schum.
Malvaceae) were purposefully selected and sourced from three
strategically located markets namely; Oil mill, Choba and D/line fruit
markets. The fruit species were procured and washed with distilled
water and the edible parts extracted, chopped and sun dried properly.
The nutritional composition was analyzed using 18th edition of the
Association of Official Analytical Chemist while trace metals were
analysed using PIXE Accelerator. Spondias cytherea yielded high
percentage of crude Protein (8.373±0.1) and Fibre content
(11.73±0.03), while Syzygium malaccense was rich in Fat
(7.17±0.02) and Ash (4.17±0.04). Moisture content was highest
in Cola parchycarpa (12.63±0.05). PIXE Accelerator analysis
revealed that the fruits contain high concentration of trace metals; S.
malaccense contained Mg (1170±237.0ppm), Si (60.02±68.95ppm),
Al (14.89±7.71ppm), Fe (10. 60±4.11ppm), Rb
(3.20±0.00ppm) and Ti (1.82±0.00ppm). C. parchycarpa had Zn
(6.22±11.80ppm), Cr (1.60±0.75 ppm), Mn (0. 71±0.87ppm)
and Cu (0.38±0.33ppm). Ni (0.16 ppm) was found only in S. cytherea
fruit. The forest fruits are rich in nutrients vital for healthy growth
but the level of heavy metals (Mg, Al. Cr, Fe and Zn) in each of the
fruits were above WHO/FAO permissible limit, therefore excessive
consumption on a daily/weekly routine should be avoided. |
