摘要

<span style="font-family:""><span style="font-family:Verdana;">In Nagaland ~70% of population lives in rural areas and depends on forest products for livelihood. Being part of the biodiversity hotspot, state is rich in biodiversity. The present study was an attempt made to understand the nutritional properties of 22 popular underutilized edible plants (UEP) Kohima, Phek, Tuensang districts. Results revealed moisture content of 22 studied plants ranged between 4.8 to 88.15 g/100g, while protein content varied be</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">tween 0.00269</span></span><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> - </span><span style="font-family:""><span style="font-family:Verdana;">0.773 g/100g with highest in </span><i><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Terminalia chebula</span></i><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> (0.773</span></span><span style="font-family:""><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> g/100g) fruit while lowest protein content was in </span><i><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Setaria italica</span></i><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> (0.00269 g/100g). To</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">tal carbohydrate content was between 0.198</span></span><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> - </span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">5.212 g/100g with highest in</span><span style="font-family:""> <i><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Setaria italica</span></i><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> (5.212 g/100g) and lowest in </span><i><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Juglans regia</span></i><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> (0.198 g/100g). Of </span><span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">the 22 samples, maximum antioxidant activity was in </span><i><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Terminalia chebula</span></i></span><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> fruits (37.49 μg/ml) followed by </span><i><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Clerodendrum glandulosum</span></i><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> (65.29 μg/ml) leaves, </span><i><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Phyllanthus emblica </spa
