Analysis of Nutritional Components and Acute Toxicity of Bauhinia variegata

In order to evaluate the nutritional value and acute toxicity of Bauhinia variegata, the nutritional components of three kinds of flower colors of B.variegata were tested and analyzed according to the National Food Safety Standard method, and the acute toxicity of ethanol extract of B.variegata flowers on mice was determined by modified karber''s method.It hopes to provide theoretical basis for the development and utilization of B.variegata resources.The results showed that among the 17 amino acids determined, the amino acids of three kinds of flower colors of B.variegata were identical, and the content of the same amino acid in three kinds of flower colors of B.variegata had little difference.The content of Fe in pink flowers of B.variegata was significantly lower than that in safflowers of B.variegata and white flowers of B.variegata, and the content of Mn was significantly higher than that in safflowers of B.variegata and white flowers of B.variegata. The content of vitamin C in pink flowers of B.variegata was significantly higher than that in safflowers of B.variegata and white flowers of B.variegata. The results of the acute toxicity test showed that the LD₅₀ value of safflowers of B.variegata ethanol extract was 30.34 g/kg and the 95% average confidence limit was 27.97-32.91 g/kg.The LD₅₀ value of pink flowers of B.variegata ethanol extract was 33.79 g/kg and the 95% average confidence limit was 30.43-37.53 g/kg.The LD₅₀ value of white flowers of B.variegata ethanol extract was 30.24 g/kg and the 95% average confidence limit was 27.11-33.73 g/kg.According to the WHO oral acute toxicity grading standard of exogenous compounds, the LD₅₀ value of three kinds of B.variegata ethanol extracts in mice were all greater than 15 g/kg in one oral administration, and the toxicity was classified as non-toxic.The above results provide a scientific basis for the development and utilization of edible flower of B.variegata.
