PROXIMATE ANALYSIS OF PSIDIUM GUAJAVA
AND ASCORBIC CONTENT
ABSTRACT
Aims: To
determine the nutrient composition and phytochemical properties of Psidium
guajava (Guava) and Cucumis sativus (Cucumber) fruits grown in Gashua fadama
area of Yobe State, Nigeria in order to provide an up-to-date nutrient
composition data and phytochemical potentials of these commonly grown and
consumed fruits in the area of research.
Study
Design: Collection and analysis of fruit samples from the Gashua fadama area
and control samples from Mamudo, an upland area in Yobe State where fruits and
vegetables irrigation farming is practiced.
Place and
Duration of Study: Composite samples of the fruits were collected from the
fadama and up land farms during the active production period between April 2013
and May 2013.
Methodology:
Samples were collected from five P. guajava farms and nine C. sativus farms.
Samples were identified at the herbarium of Department of Botany, University of
Maiduguri, prepared and analyzed for proximate values using the recommended method
of the Association of Analytical Chemists. Samples were also screened for
phytochemical properties using standard procedures.
Results: The
Proximate analysis showed that both fruits were good sources of carbohydrate
(C. sativus (77.16%) and P. guajava (67.40%). The protein and fat contents were
found to be relatively low in both fruits (1.05% protein, 0.95% fat for P.
guajava and 2.06% protein, 0.47% fat for C. sativus). The moisture content of
the fruits ranged from 9.90% for C. sativus to 13.32% for P. guajava. No
significant differences were recorded between the proximate values of the
tested fruits and the fruits from the control area. The phytochemical tests
revealed the presence of alkaloids, carbohydrates, flavonoids, saponins,
glycosides, steroids and tannins in P. guajava but saponins, tannins and
alkaloids were not detected in C. sativus.
Conclusion:
The results suggest that C. sativus and P. guajava have some nutritive and
medicinal properties. The presence of phytochemicals that are biologically
important contributes to the nutritive value of the fruits and thus can be
potential sources of useful foods.
