The effect of blanching on the antinutritional content was studied in cabbage, turnip, collard, sweetpotato and peanut leaves. All the vegetables contained various amounts of phytic acid, tannic acid and/or oxalic acid. Tannic acid was found in largest amounts ranging from 1266.00 mg/100 g in cabbage to 491.00 mg/100 g in sweetpotato. Phytic acid content ranged from 0.31 mg/100 g in sweetpotato to 3.97 mg/100 g in collard. Oxalic acid was in trace amounts in cabbage and turnip; but high… Expand

Nutritive value and effect of blanching on the trypsin and chymotrypsin inhibitor activities of selected leafy vegetables
TLDR
Based on the results of this study, the vegetables were good dietary sources of minerals, vitamins, carbohydrate and proteins and blanching was an effective method for reducing the trypsin and chymotrypsin inhibitor activities in the leafy vegetables. Expand
Effect of domestic processing and cooking on selected antinutrient contents of some green leafy vegetables

Effect of processing on nutritional and anti-nutritional composition of false sesame (Ceratotheca sesamoides) and common bean leaves (Phaseolus vulgaris)
The effects of blanching and drying on micro-nutrients: β-Carotene, Vitamin C, Folic acid, Iron (Fe), Zinc (Zn), Phosphorus (P) and anti-nutrients: Tannins and Oxalates composition of False Sesame… Expand
Safety tests and antinutrient analyses of noni (Morinda citrifolia L.) leaf.
TLDR
The apparent lack of toxicity of the leaves and the hardiness of the plant make it ideal for further agricultural development, especially where sustained growth of other food crops is difficult. Expand
