Abstract

Minerals are inorganic compounds needed by your body to regulate chemical reactions and maintain structures. Medicinal plants are said to have high nutritive value and as a result of that they are prescribed for their therapeutic values. Medicinal plants contribute major part in the economic value of India. The seeds of Holoptelea integrifolia are rich source of minerals and oil. For this study, seeds of Holoptelea integrifolia were selected. The aim of the present study was to investigate the presence of nutritional value and to determine the oil yielding capacity of the seeds of Holoptelea integrifolia. Seed oil was extracted by n-hexane solvent by using Soxhelt apparatus. Phytochemical screening was carried out on the oil extract.The study revealed that the terpenoids and saponins are present and flavanoids and alkaloids, phenols, tannins, glycosides, anthraquinones, carbohydrates and proteins were completely absent. Total mineral content of the seeds were determined by the standard methods. Minerals analysis of the seeds of Holoptelea integrifolia reveals that the seeds contain phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sulphur, copper, iron and zinc.The quality and quantity of the oil in the seeds of Holoptelea integrifolia clearly suggest that the oil yielding capability of this plant can fulfill the future demands of the edible oil in the country and seeds are also balance our nutrition.
