Abstract
The wild edible ripe and unripe fruit of Meyna laxiflora was analyzed for various proximate like moisture content (6.07±0.094)% for the ripe wild fruit flesh and (7.48±0.01)% for the unripe wild fruit flesh. The ash contain was high in the unripe fruit (0.55±0.02)% than the ripe (0.065±0.012)%. Ripe flesh protein content of M. laxiflora was high (3101±1.527) % as compared with in unripe fruit flesh was low (2403±1.154) %. The amount of reducing sugar in the ripe fruit was (3239±0.92)% and in the unripe fruit flesh was (1305±0.57)%. The Phenol content of the ripe fruit flesh of M. laxiflora was high (3219±0.95) % and the unripe fruit flesh was (2230±0.85)%. The total Ascorbic acid in the ripe fruit flesh was (82.6±0.28)% as in the unripe fruit flesh was (59.53±0.41)%. The Antioxidant potential in the ripe fruit IC50 value was (114.6±0.11)% & the unripe fruit flesh IC50 value was(110.6±0.25)%. Trace element’s nutritive potential has been evaluated by using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). In this study, 12 minerals N, P, K, S, Br, Fe, Mn, Mg, Zn, Cu, Ca, Na have been determined in the unripe and the ripe fruit flesh. N, P,K, S contain in the unripe fruit (0.0843)%, (183.2)%, (784.1)%, (341.44)% than ripe fruit (0.0643)%, (133.2)%, (574.96)%,( 36.94)% respectively. Other trace element Zn, Na, Fe, Cu, B, in the unripe fruit flesh (2.57)%, (11.84)%, (17.5)%, (2.43)%, (1.01)% and in the ripe fruit flesh (1.74)%, (5.29)%, (13.3)%, (1.15)%, (0.33)%.
