The present study aims to evaluate the phytochemical and nutritional analysis of
Nelumbium nucifera rhizome from district Charsadda KPK (Pakistan). Descriptive
research design was adopted in this study. Study and analyzes were done in
Quaid-i-Azam University in Pakistan, in a 3 month time frame. The proximate
parameters like ash, crude fat, crude fiber, crude protein, carbohydrates, moisture
contents and energy values were analyzed and obtained using Association of
Official Analytical Chemists methods. Total phenolic contents was found to be
(25.49±1.15) mg GAE/g and (17.6±3.80) mg GAE/g dry extract whereas the total
flavonoid contents were found to be (10.84±0.16) mg RUE/g and (6.86±0.76) mg
RUE/g in methanol and ethanolic extract respectively. Eventually concentration of
moisture (55.3 ±0.80) and carbohydrates (23±0.26%) were detected higher than
concentration of fat (3.1±1.67%) and fiber (2.5±0.86%) contents. Results showed
that the N. nucifera rhizome has various phytochemicals such as cardiac glycosides,
flavonoids, saponin, tannin, phlobatanins, phenolic compounds and alkaloids.
Methanolic extract of N. nucifera rhizome showed the high contents of flavonoids
and phenols. Also indicates that rhizome is a good source of carbohydrates and
proteins. It possesses significant nutrient properties which give it an advantage of
being used in bakery, food production and good experimental system for further
researches on renewable resources.
