Abstract
Vital aim of this study was to evaluate the nutritional estimation like total Moisture content, Volatile matter, Ash content, Fixed carbon, Crude fiber, Total lipids, Total protein and Total Carbohydrates contents from the tubers of Decalepis hamiltonii and Dioscorea oppositifolia. The root tubers of Decalepis hamiltonii Wight & Arn. and Dioscorea oppositifolia L. were collected from Kathiri Hills, Erode district of Tamil Nadu during February, 2014. Decalepis hamiltoni belongs to family Apocynaceae commonly known as Magali kizhangu and D. oppositifolia belongs to the family Dioscoreaceae commonly known as Malaiyan kizhangu. On examination of the nutrient estimation data analyzed on the root tubers of D. hamiltonii and D. oppositifolia, they exhibit an extensive range of nutrition. Moreover, D. hamiltonii and D. oppositifolia have exhibited the highest antioxidant activity assessed by the DPPH method in comparison with ascorbic acid as a standard.
