These all are available in the planting season when the staples are not really available. Phytochemical screening of the fruits of L. membranacea showed a strong presence of flavonoids, cardiac glycosides and tannins, trace quantities of saponins and complete absence of alkaloids, anthraquinones and cyanogenic glycosides. Proximate analyses revealed moisture content of 75.5%, 8.74% of protein, 5.33% of ash, 8.33% of crude fibre, 13.95% of crude fat and 65.55% of carbohydrate. The mineral content showed that potassium was 2448.00 mg/kg-1, sodium was 100.00 mg/kg-1, magnesium was 240.00 mg/kg-1, calcium was 240.00 mg/kg-1, phosphorous was 2500.00 mg/kg-1 and iron was 129. oomg/kg-1. The anti-nutrient composition was phytic acid (43.36 mg/100g), oxalic acid (580.80 mg/100g) and tannins (2.93 mg/100g). This fruit is recommended for consumption, conservation and possibly further development in size and yield.
