Abstract
#Chemicalanalyses on agbono cotyledon was carried out in order to
identify the various proximate(s) that constitute the agbono cotyledon
as well as to establish also the forms of #phytochemicals present in
agbono cotyledon by simple extraction processes using three different
solvents (petroleum ether, ethanol and distilled water). The results
from the analysis showed that agbono cotyledon displayed the following
proximates; #carbohydrates, #protein, lipids (fats and oil), moisture and
ash. The later were established to be responsible for agbono cotyledon‘s
drawability, colour, taste and #aroma when used as condiment. However,
values of 0.17%, 0.13%, 80.41%, 19.14% and 0.15% were obtained
for the petroleum ether extract; while the data; 0.25%, 0.13%, 15.17%,
84.31% and 0.14% were recorded for the ethanol extract, and then
0.25%, 0.35%, 4.91%. 94.41% and 0.08% values were acquired for the
distilled water extract with respect to carbohydrates, protein, lipids
(fats and oil), moisture and ash contents.
