Abstract

This research was carried out on the microbial assessment ,proximate composition and elemental analysis of Habiscus sabdariffa L.and Amaranthus hybrids.many test is carry out to assessed the microorganisms present on the leaf surface of these vegetables such catalyst test, oxidase test, coagulate test, suger fermentation test and microscopic examination to identified their morphological characteristics. More over for the proximate composition fat, crude fiber, protein, moisture, ash and carbohydrates content is determined. For elemental analysis Iron, zinc, and copper is detected by using AAS( Atomic absorption spectrometry).
