“…Ils peuvent aussi constituer de par leur composition, un complément appréciable de calories, de vitamines, de fibres, de sels minéraux et de protéines dans l'alimentation (Jansen et al, 2004). L'utilisation de l'engrais azoté lors de la production influence la teneur en protéine (Agbo et al, 2009).…”

“…Differences in ash content may be due to leaf age at harvest, or the mineral fertilizer used in culture (Sossa‐Vihotogbe, ). Variation in ash content in vegetables can be due to cultural practices (Agbo, Kouamé, Mahyao, N'Zi, & Fondio, ; Nordeide, Hatloy, Folling, Lied, & Oshaug, ), soil mineral composition and the proportion of individual mineral absorption by each plant (Anjorin, Ikokoh, & Okolona, ; Asaolu & Asaolu, ). In this study, differences might be explained by diversity of sample collection site, or by the cultural practice of each farmer.…”

The study assessed changes in nutritional content of some commonly consumed traditional vegetables subjected to postharvest processes. Amaranth (Amaranthus cruentus L.), black nightshade (Solanum scabrum Mill.) and jute mallow (Corchorus olitorius L.) leaves used as vegetables were subjected to blanching, boiling and drying. The proximate composition and β‐carotene content of fresh and processed leaves were determined. Amaranth, black nightshade and jute mallow leaves had 25.21%, 39.74% and 29.18% of protein, respectively. The β‐carotene levels were 16.40, 25.25 and 27.74 mg/100 g for black nightshade amaranth and jute mallow leaves, respectively. The ash content was 10.57% for black nightshade, 12.40% for jute mallow and 16.33% for amaranth. Processing methods caused decreases of β‐carotene and crude lipid content. Boiling for 30 min or more resulted in large loss of β‐carotene. Drying under shade resulted in less loss of β‐carotene than drying in cabinet at 50 and 60°C.

A survey on leafy vegetables consumption was carried out in the district of Abidjan. Samples of spider plant, were collected from the fields during the dry and the rainy seasons. Nutrient analysis of spider plant leaf were performed on dry matter, pH, proteins, sugars, fibers, vitamin C, ß-carotene, minerals and oxalic acid content. The survey revealed that spider plant was less known and consumed. Oxalic acid level is high in rainy season (10.17 mg/100g DW). Soluble fibers content is around 13.33 % in dry season and 16% in rainy season while, insoluble fibers rate is 25.1% in dry season and 23.07% in rainy season. The most β-carotene level was determined in rainy season (110.26 µg/100g FW). Iron content was about 23.93 mg/100g DW in dry season and 10.17 mg/100g DW in rainy season. Calcium content was high in rainy season (45.25 g/100g DW) whereas potassium content is more elevated in dry season (109.38 g/100g DW). Except vitamin C, the other nutrients differ statistically within the seasons. Spider plant could be harvested and consumed in the both seasons and there is a need to raise awareness on its nutritional benefit to promote its production and consumption.
