“…Analysis of the phytochemical compounds of the leaves of Elaeis guineensis showed the presence of tannins, heterosides, saponins, flavonoids, steroids, reducing compound, coumarin, anthracenic derivatives, terpenoids and alkaloids. These results are similar to those found by (Assogba et al, 2015); (Sene et al, 2016); (Yin et al, 2013) and (Sasidharan et al, 2010) confirming the presence of the same chemical compounds in the leaves of Elaeis guineensis. Moreover, (Assogba et al, 2015) state that the aqueous extract of the leaves of Elaeis guineensis is very rich in tannins and saponosides.…”
