Abstract
Corchorus olitorius L. commonly known as Jute leaf is a member of the angiosperm family Tiliaceace that has a wide range of potential uses in food, medicine, research studies and biotechnology. Soil composition variations that exist in varying localities usually lead to a variance in a plants phytochemical potentials; thus the phytochemistry of C. olitorius L cultivated in the South-South region of Nigeria was studied. This study entailed the phytochemical screening, proximate analysis, mineral constituents analysis, chemical characterization, functional groups identification, acute toxicity testing and dose responses of C. olitorius L grown within the South-South region of Nigeria. The study results showed an abundance of reducing sugars and the presence of twenty-two (22) bioactive phytoconstituents with Cyclohexanediol and hydroxyl being the most abundant characterized chemical and functional group respectively. These results showed great variations with other prior indigenous studies of C. olitorius L.
