Table 5 shows the amount of nutrients and anti-nutrient
in treated samples of D. strictus. It shows that the best
method for reducing the concentration of cyanogens (0.018±
0.003 g/100 g in fresh shoots to 0.003±0.001 g/100 g after treatment) was boiling shoots in 1% NaCl for 15 min along
with the retention of 1.03±0.11 g/100 g total carbohydrates,
1.29±0.13 g/100 g total proteins, 0.16±0.04 g/100 g total
phenols, 0.03±0 g/100 g phosphorus, 0.07±0 g/100 g
magnesium, 0.27±0.01 g/100 g sodium, 0.23±0 g/100 g
potassium and 0.00 g/100 g calcium.
