摘要：
There are several ways in which medicinal plants help to keep people alive. Extracts (chloroform, n-hexane, and ethanol) of the kola nut (cola acuminata) were analyzed for their phytochemicals, physicochemical, phytochemicals, anti-bacterial activity, and antioxidant potential. The antibacterial efficacy of the extracts was tested. Color, aroma, texture, flavor, total ash, water soluble ash, and moisture were evaluated. Phytochemical analyses confirmed the existence of secondary metabolites in addition to those found in the core constituents of the extract. The extract was tested for antioxidant activity. Phytochemicals were detected in the extracts. Chloroform and n-hexane extract, on the other hand, contained neither carbohydrates nor steroids. It has been shown that both the protein and the cardiac glycoside are absent from kola nut extracts which was made using chloroform and n-hexane. Extracts of the kola nut were effective against the pathogens at 50, 100, and 200 mg/mL concentrations. Antioxidant activities showed that ethanol extract was the most effective in scavenging nitric oxide and ferric reducing power compared to chloroform and water extracts. Yet, at higher doses, inhibitory actions were found in all extracts. This latest study confirmed previous results claiming that kola nuts are of higher quality for human consumption. © The Author(s) under exclusive licence to Society for Plant Research 2023.
