Highlights
Medicinal plants are re-emerging health aids which have gained huge attention in recent times [1]
The results of vitamin analysis revealed the presence of high concentrations of the B-group of vitamins in both extracts
The concentrations of the B-group of vitamins, and vitamins C and E were significantly higher in the ethanol extract than in the aqueous extract (p < 0.05), but there was no significant difference in the concentration of vitamin A between the two extracts (p > 0.05)
Summary
Medicinal plants are re-emerging health aids which have gained huge attention in recent times [1]. Dialium guineense (Velvet Tamarind), is a tall, tropical, fruit-bearing tree. It belongs to the Leguminosae family and grows in dense forests in Africa along the southern edge of the Sahel. Each fruit typically has one hard, flat, round, brown seed, typically 7 - 8 mm across and 3 mm thick. Dialium guineense belongs to the Leguminosae family and grows in dense forests in Africa along the southern edge of the Sahel. The bark leaves and fruits of the plant have medicinal properties and are used to treat diseases such as stomatitis, toothache, fever, diarrhea, palpitations, and microbial infections. The present study evaluated the vitamin contents of aqueous and ethanol extracts of Dialium guineense stem bark
