ABSTRACT


Phytochemical and proximate analysis of Tetrapleura tetraptera were

carried out in order to identify and evaluate the secondary metabolites. The

phytochemicals — alkaloid (1.45%), flavonoids (0.22%), saponin (0.17%),

tannin (0.21% and phenol (0.11%) were tested for i the plant sample and

found to be present. The mean percentage compositions of the plant

samples were evaluated, compositions such as moisture content (7.97%),

ash (10.34%), crude fibre (37.05%), crude protein (8.70%), crude fat

(8.97%) and carbohydrate (26.96%). The plant T. tetraptera can be use for

pharmacological and nutritive benefits.
