6. Phytochemistry
The flower of Clitoria ternatea contains numerous bioactive
compounds that exhibit powerful anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic,
antibacterial, antioxidant, and antiproliferative/anticancer activities
(Al-Snafi, 2016; López Prado et al., 2019; Mahmad et al., 2018; Neda
et al., 2013; Rajamanickam et al., 2015). Several studies have been
conducted to explore, identify, and isolate bioactive components
from Clitoria ternatea flowers. The percentages of protein, fiber,
carbs, and lipids in Clitoria ternatea flower were 0.32%, 2.1%, 2.2%,
and 2.5%, respectively, with a water content of 92.4%. Calcium (3.09
mg/g), magnesium (2.23 mg/g), potassium (1.25 mg/g), zinc (0.59
mg/g), sodium (0.14 mg/g), and iron (0.14 mg/g) are additionally
abundant in the flower (Neda et al., 2013).
Acute toxicity studies using Wistar albino rats given ethanol
extract of Clitoria ternatea flower (2000 mg/kg body weight)
showed no acute toxic effects and are safe for consumption
