Abstract

This experiment was carried out to Assess mineral, and vitamin constituents of SAMPEA-11 and SAMPEA 20T cowpea cultivars. Plant materials were purchased from the Institute for Agricultural Research, Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Nigeria. Minerals were determined using Atomic Absorption Spectrometer while vitamin contents were analyzed using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography. SAMPEA 20T had high potassium concentration of 8.920 ppm, while copper was 0.059 ppm. For SAMPEA-11, potassium also had the highest concentration at 6.760 ppm, followed by phosphorus, 3.626 ppm and calcium, 1.630 ppm. Lower concentrations of iron, zinc, copper, and magnesium were noted in both cultivars. In SAMPEA 20T, two vitamins were detected: Vitamin B1 and Folate with concentrations of 2.123 mg and 11.060 mg, respectively. In SAMPEA-11, three vitamins were detected: Thiamine, Folate, and Vitamin E with concentrations of 12.450 mg, 23.459 mg and 3.047 mg respectively. The analysis of SAMPEA-11 and SAMPEA 20T cowpea cultivars shows a significant presence of potassium among the minerals, and a predominant presence of Folate, with notable concentrations of Thiamine and Vitamin E. The variety of nutrients highlight the nutritional value and potential health benefits of these cowpea cultivars.

Abstract

Azanza garckeana, commonly known as "Goron Tula," is a medicinal plant widely recognized in Southern Africa for its traditional applications in treating infertility, respiratory issues, and liver disorders. Recent studies have explored its bioactive compounds, revealing significant therapeutic potentials, such as antiplasmodial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and uterotonic effects. Key phytochemicals like flavonoids, tannins, and alkaloids have been identified, contributing to its diverse pharmacological activities. This review compiles current knowledge on the chemical constituents and bioactivities of Azanza garckeana, providing a foundation for future research on its medicinal and nutritional applications. The plant's role in enhancing health, with potential uses in modern medicine, is also highlighted.
