Abstract
The current study was undertaken to estimate the proximate and micronutrient analysisof the leaf powders of Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers., Annona squamosa Linn., Moringa oleifera Lam., Ocimum tenuiflorum Linn.and Terminalia catappa Linn. Determination of biochemical contents was performed by different biochemical methods. Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers., Annona squamosa Linn., Moringa oleifera Lam., Ocimum tenuiflorum Linn. And Terminalia catappa Linn.leaf powdersexhibited the presence of all the essential nutrients, minerals and vitamins in good amounts and holda good proximate and mineral value. The plant leaf powders can thus be looked forward as the probable sources for food supplementation and medicinal foods, after further investigation of the anti-nutritive factors present in them and their enzymatic and molecular effect on human health.The high minerals, vitamins and proteins content could be explored in the development of nutraceuticals and can also be used as food ingredients for human or animal diet.
