Comparative study on effect of aluminium phosphide on some nutrients and anti-nutritional factors in <em>Arachis hypogaea</em>

Aims: To comparatively study the effect of aluminium phosphide preservative on some nutrientional and anti-nutritional factors in Arachis hypogaea. Study Design: Randomized design Place and Duration of Study: Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Laboratory, Nasarawa State University, Keffi between May and August, 2019. Methodology: Two portions of A. hypogaea weighing 500g each, were obtained, one portion preserved with Aluminium phosphide tablet while the second portion was without any preservative. The preservation lasted for 30 days after which the A. hypogaea was blended using a mechanical blender before analysis for nutritional and anti-nutritional compositions. Result: The proximate compositions were significantly (p<0.05) higher in the NAPP than APP except the fiber (03.01±0.06 mg/100 g; 03.80±0.06 mg/100 g) and ash (01.00±0.06 mg/100 g; 02.23±0.06 mg/100 g). Carbohydrates (07.40±0.06 mg/100 g; 03.48±0.06 mg/100 g), protein (19.93±0.06 mg/100 g; 14.94±0.06 mg/100), fat (74.60±0.06 mg/100g; 68.08±2.75 mg/100 g), and moisture content (06.40±0.06 mg/100 g; 3.00±0.06 mg/100 g). Exception of phosphorus (65.00±0.06mg/100g; 63.00±0.06mg/100g), the minerals concentration was significantly(p<0.05) higher in NAPP compared to APP. Iron (76.20±0.06 mg/100 g; 62.00±0.06 mg/100 g), potassium (38.01±0.06mg/100 g; 26.20±0.06mg/100g), manganese (26.02±0.06mg/100g; 15.10±0.06 mg/100 g), magnesium (11.00±0.06mg/100g; 06.00±0.06 mg/100 g), calcium (82.10±0.06 mg/100 g; 72.00±0.06 mg/100 g) and zinc (25.01±0.06 mg/100 g; 14.01±0.06 mg/100 g).The anti-nutritional factors showed significant difference (p<0.05) higher in tannin (9.33±0.69 mg/100 g; 1.90±0.02 mg/100 g), oxalate (32.50±0.60 mg/100 g; 42.50±.60 mg/100 g), phytate (16.72±0.60 mg/100 g; 5.48±0.60 mg/100 g), alkaloid (16.72±0.60 mg/100g; 5.48±0.60 mg/100 g) and saponins (40.74±0.60 mg/100 g; 38.20±0.60 mg/100 g) except cyanide (0.02±0.00 mg/100 g; 0.02±0.00 mg/100 g). Conclusion: The study showed that aluminium phosphide negatively affected the nutritional profile of A. hypogaea. Thus, the effect of aluminium phosphide should be further investigated in vivo.

Objective: Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are the most common cause of non-traumatic lower extremity amputations in developing countries. The aim of this pilot study was to evaluate the medicinal plant (fruits) and herbs (seeds) to meet their primary health-care needs healing to DFUs. Methods: Three solvents were used to acquire extracts from powdered parts of the species. The extracts were used for phytochemical screening like a standard procedure. Quantitative assay of antioxidant activity of the extracts using free radical scavenging phenomena such as a 1,1-diphenyl-2- picrylhydrazyl-assay. The antimicrobial activity of the test organisms to the 11 plant extracts was screened using the agar well diffusion method (Perez et al., 1990). Hypotonicity-induced human red blood cell (HRBC) assay performs to determine anti-inflammatory activities. Results: The presence of maximum antioxidant activity found in Arachis hypogaea (ethyl acetate) extract followed by Piper nigrum. The comparative study of these plants and herb species (P. nigrum and A. hypogaea), where P. nigrum, contains more total tannin contents and antioxidant compounds as persistent manner compares to A. hypogaea. Ethanolic and ethyl acetate, extracts of P. nigrum were studied for the in vitro antimicrobial and anti-inflammation against DFU contamination and HRBCs. P. nigrum treated on DFU contamination and HRBC, shown with maximum inhabitation properties for DFU (800 μg/mL). Conclusions: The finding of the present investigation demonstrated that P. nigrum significantly more suppresses the growth of DFU contamination and induces anti-inflammatory activities follow by A. hypogaea.
