Phytochemical, Enzymatic and Ionic Properties of Leaves and Root of selected cultivars

Goals/Objectives of Project

  • To collect Cassava varieties in selected areas in Nigeria and assess their utilization as leafy vegetable.
  • To determine the comparative concentrations of some heavy metals such as a lead, iron, zinc, manganese, cadmium, chromium and arsenic in cassava leaves and tubers from different species within South-Western states.
  • To determine the comparative anti-nutritional and nutritional values for ash, fibre, moisture, protein, lipid and carbohydrate contents of cassava leaves in different species within the South Western states.
  • To determine in-vitro and in vivo anti-oxidant activities of the processed and the unprocessed cassava leaves.
  • To assess the diversity among the collected accessions in Nigeria using morphology and monocular markers (SSR/BGS) to assist in breeding efforts.
  • To characterize the roots as starches of different varieties.
