The nutritional potential of Senna alata seed

The nutrients and some anti-nutrients in the seed of Senna alata linn were investigated using standard procedures. Findings from the proximate analysis revealed high content of carbohydrate (58.44±0.16 g/100g) and low moisture content (2.90±0.01 g/100g). The anti-nutritional analysis prefigures low...

Zusammenfassung:The nutrients and some anti-nutrients in the seed of Senna alata linn were investigated using standard procedures. Findings from the proximate analysis revealed high content of carbohydrate (58.44±0.16 g/100g) and low moisture content (2.90±0.01 g/100g). The anti-nutritional analysis prefigures low content of alkaloid (2.00 g/100g) while saponin was not detected. Mineral analysis revealed respectively excellent source of K (1356.74mg/100g), Ca (288.55 mg/100g), Mg (134.00 mg/100g) and Fe (14.50 mg/100g). The GC/MS analysis on the seed oil yield reasonable percentage of linoleic acid (53.80%), and the least was recorded for behenic acid (1.34%). The high nutrient content in the seed of this plant suggest it could be used as an alternative feed source for livestock.
