Abstract

Cleome viscosa known as asian spider flower or yellow spider flower in English, it’s known as” wild mustard” the plant is called Namijin yar anguwa in hausa and ‘eya’zo’ in nupe. The plant is an anaul sticky herb with, it belongs to capperacea family it’s grow up to 30 - 60 cm height the flower is yellow, they ocour in the road side, grassland and sandy soil. The plant has many ethnomedicinal uses. This study investigated the phytochemical screening, proximate analysis and mineral analysis of C. viscosa root with the view of the nutritional values. The result of the phytochemical screening shows that alkaloids, flavonoids, phenols, terpernoids, steroids, glycosides and tannis are present but saponnis is absent using ethanol as solvent extract. The proximate analysis result shows that the ash content was obtained as (5.0%), moisture content (6.5%), percentage crude protein (2.77%), percentage carbohydrate (15.73%), crude lipid (35.0%), and crude fibre (35.0%). The crude lipid and fibre with higher value shows that the C. viscosa is rich source of fibre and lipid. The estimated energy value was calculated as 355.76 kca/g show that C. viscosa root can be consider as calorie – dense food source. The result of mineral anysis of the has shown that C. viscosa root is rich in mineral, seven micro and macro mineral were detected which there concentrations were detected as Ca (0.74µg/ml), K (1.32µg/ml), Na (1.95µg/ml), Cu (0.044µg/ml), Mn (0.1905µg/ml), Fe (2.592µg/ml) and Zn (0.0028 µg/ml). Therefore, this study recommended that C. viscosa root can be included into day to day diet to improve nutrient intake and promote overall health and growth.
