Abstract

Background: Herbs are major players in present day therapy, especially by the locals. However, there are some secondary metabolites present in them that can act as antinutrients when consumed by humans. Thus, it is important to monitor the levels of antinutreints in herbal snuff to save the public, especially in Sokoto (a state battling with challenges of nutrients deficiency and malnutrition). Objective: The objective of this work was to measure levels of cyanide, nitrate, phytate, and oxalate, in herbal snuff in Sokoto, Nigeria. Methods: Snuffs were brought from Sokoto market and subjected to antinutritional analysis according to standard methods and using reagents/materials of analytical grade. Result: The amount of nitrate present in three herbal snuff brands sold in Sokoto, Nigeria show that, nitrate ranges from 18.81 ± 0.9 mg/100g (found in Hajiya Safiya snuff brand) to 21. 82 ± 0.08 mg/100g (found in Hajiya Aisha snuff brand). The concentrations of phytate in 3 brands of herbal snuffs revealed, the highest value (91.164 ± 0.001 mg/100g) was recorded in Hajiya Aisha, and the lowest (4.05 ± 0.04 mg/100g) was observed in Dr Lambo herbal brand. The concentrations of oxalate show that, the highest level (0.0787 ± 0.059 mg/100g) was found in Dr lambo, and lowest (0.0055 ± 0.0001 mg/100g) observed in Hajiya Aisha snuff. Then, levels of cyanide in herbal snuff show, the highest value (25.68 ± 1.45 mg/ 100g) was recorded in Dr Lambo snuff brand, and the lowest level of cyanide was recorded in Hajiya Safiya (19.32 ± 1.04 mg/ 100g). Conclusion: The snuffs contain the assessed antinutrients at levels that are not likely to pose risk.

Abstract

Substance abuse is among the major issues affecting schools and education in Nigeria. Many substances affect the mind and whole body of youngsters negatively leading to hospitalizations, school drop-outs, absenteeism and other effects that affect education at whole. The objective of this study was to assess the effect of substance abuse on cognitive potential of some schooling youngsters in Gwadabawa, Sokoto State Nigeria. 15 young people that abuse substances and are attending schools, and 15 normal people in Gwadabawa, Sokoto state, Nigeria were recruited in this work and were assessed with Montreal cognitive Assessment standard methods to evaluate the cognitive domain of the participants. The result reveals substance abusers scored 357 ± 7.0, while 396.0 ± 10.0 was scored by non-substance abusers; indicating that substance abusers show comparatively lower cognitive ability compared to the control youngsters enrolled in this work. The results indicate that the substances been abused by the young people reduce their cognitive ability (a prelude of cognitive domain of the participants of the study) and in turn could inflict their academic performances as well. Thus, it is pertinent to help young ones shun substances through awareness creation, counselling, strict laws, drug education and relations.

Abstract

Sokoto state is been challenged with diverse array of problems such as food insecurity, malnutrition, poor healthcare. Thus, the need to search for locally available plant materials is intensified. The objective of this work was to conduct a phytochemical, proximate and Na, K, Ca, Mg, Cu, Zn (minerals) analysis of eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globulus) and gingerbread plum (Noecarya macrophylla) leaves using standard methods and materials of analytical grade. The proximate results revealed moisture of (7.10 ± 09), (7.73 ±0.3) ash (14.76 ± 0.2) (12.85 ± 0.11), crude lipid (1.38± 0.007) (1.46 ±0.02), crude fibre (2.42 ± 0.03) (2.54 ± 0.03), crude protein (5.66 ± 0.04) (7.3 ± 0.006), carbohydrates (68. 68 ± 0.31) (68.12 ± 0.23) for gingerbread plum and eucalyptus respectively. The minerals in gingerbread plum and eucalyptus respectively are as follows; zinc (0.59± 0.06 ppm).4 ± (0.005 ppm), calcium (11.38 ± 0.6 ppm) (19.48 ± 0.53 ppm), potassium (7.21 ± 1.2 ppm) (5.10 ± 0.93 ppm), copper (0.51 ± 0.007 ppm) (0.19 ± 0.04 ppm), magnesium (3.74 ± 0.41 ppm), (10.9 ± 93 ppm), sodium (7.65 ± 0.63 ppm) (12.21 ± 0.32 ppm). Phytochemicals determined include, alkaloids, saponins, tannins, phenols, and phytate. The results have revealed that, the two plants are rich in proximate, phytochemicals and minerals and can be useful for consumption.
