EFFECT OF SEASON, MICROHABITAT AND LEAF-AGE ON NUTRIENT COMPOSITION OF Senna occidentalis AND Senna obtusifolia LEAVES GROWN IN SOKOTO, NIGERIA

Tambari, U, Aleiro, B. L., Muhammad, S. and Hassan, L. G.


Abstract
This study determined the variation in Beta-Carotene and Vitamin contents of Senna occidentalis (L.) and S. obtusifolia (L.). Leaves samples collected from Fadama and Upland locations were analysed for Beta-Carotene and Vitamins A and C nutrient composition using leaf extract beta-carotene method of Beta-Carotene and Vitamin A determination; and 2.6 dichlorophenol indephenol method for Vitamin C determination. Results revealed a significant interaction (P<0.05) effect across Beta- Carotene, Vitamins A and C composition in the two Senna species. Dry subseason, upland habitat and young leaves had higher concentration of β-Carotene (0.22 -0.61 μg/100g), Vitamin A (43.59 –84.10 μg/100g) and C (7.13 - 16.93 μg/100g) in S. occidentalis but in S. obtusifolia treatment factors e. g. late rainy, upland location, young leaves treatment favoured higher content of Beta-Carotene: 0.26 – 0.52 μg/100g; for harmattan subseason, fadama habitat and matured leaves treatment showed higher concentration of Vitamin A (50.77 - 91.73 μg/100g) while dry subseason, upland location and matured leaves treatment contained higher Vitamin C (8.53 – 13.22 mg/100g) contents. The two Senna species are rich in Beta-Carotene and Vitamins A and C and therefore recommended for continued use by human population to supplement their dietary intake.

Key words: Season, Habitat, Leaf-Age, Beta-Carotene, Vitamins A and C, Senna occidentalis, S. obtusifolia
