Abstract
The nutrients and some anti-nutrients in the seed of Senna alata linn were investigated using standard procedures. Findings from the proximate analysis revealed high content of carbohydrate (58.440.16 g/100g) and low moisture content (2.900.01 g/100g). The antinutritional analysis prefigures low content of alkaloid (2.00 g/100g) while saponin was not detected. Mineral analysis revealed respectively excellent source of K (1356.74mg/100g) Ca (288.55 mg/100g) Mg (134.00 mg/100g) and Fe (14.50 mg/100g). The GC/MS analysis on the seed oil yield reasonable percentage of linoleic acid (53.80) and the least was recorded for behenic acid (1.34). The high nutrient content in the seed of this plant suggest it could be used as an alternative feed source for livestock.
