claimThe leaves of Vernonia amygdalina contain varying concentrations of protein, moisture, carbohydrates, ash, fat, minerals, oils, and vitamins.
claimAbrasion increases the ash content of Vernonia amygdalina, while blanching and soaking significantly reduce ash content.
claimDrying Vernonia amygdalina leaves increases the concentration of most proximate ingredients, specifically ash, fiber, and lipid contents.
claimSpontaneous fermentation of Vernonia amygdalina leaves for 5 days at room temperature results in stable mineral content, but significant losses in vitamins and a noticeable rise in ash and fiber content, according to Ifesan et al. (2014).
