[HTML][HTML] Antioxidant, total phenols and proximate constituents of four tropical leafy vegetables
Vegetables are the cheapest and readily available sources of vitamins and mineral for most
tropical African diets. The aim of this study was to determine the bioactive and proximate
characteristics of four (4) indigenous Ghanaian leafy vegetables namely Solanum
macrocarpon (Gboma), Talinum fruticosum (Ademe), Corchorus olitorius (Yevogboma) and
Amaranthus spp.(Atormaa). Proximate analysis was done according to methods described
by AOAC. Total phenolic content (TPC) was determined by the Folin–Ciocalteu method …
