ABSTRACT
The proximate composition of the leaves of Justicia carnea reveals a high carbohydrate content (47.88±1.31), significant moisture content (22.12±0.32), a notable ash content (16.97±0.09), a moderate concentration of crude fiber (11.53±1.07), and low crude fat and crude protein (1.26±0.03). The analysis of phytochemicals in the leaves indicates the presence of flavonoids, tannins, steroids, phenols, and terpenoids, while cardiac glycosides, saponin, phlabotannins, coumarin, alkaloids, and anthraquinone were not detected. These findings suggest that the leaves of this plant have the potential to contribute to improved nutrition and well- being.
