Higher convergences of fat and protein just as every one of the micronutrients were available in the stems of S. indica. Centralizations of alkaloid were higher in the leaves and stems of S. cayennensis where as more elevated level of protein was identified in the leaves. More noteworthy degree of hydrogen cyanide was found in the leaves of the two plants. Information were considered genuinely critical at P≤0.05. Nonetheless, high grouping of hydrogen cyanide, an intense poison, recognized in both the leaves and stems of the plants render them unpalatable without appropriate handling. In this way, the usage of these plants in ethno medication as food and medication could be deadly; consequently, it is exceptionally debilitate. Regardless, the bioactive mixtures and supplements could be removed for advancement of medications and food supplements.
