CHAPTER FOUR
4.0 RESULTS
4.1 Presentation and Statistical Analysis of Data.
This section presents the data analysis, testing of hypotheses and interpretation of results. All the data collected from the laboratory experiment are presented and interpreted. The analysis was carried out with the use of Statistic Package for Social Science (SPSS). The hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance. The statistical tools used in analyzing the data were Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Duncan test. This chapter presents the results and summary of findings under the following sub-headings:
> Testing of Hypotheses
> Summary of Findings
4.2 Testing of Hypotheses
The three hypotheses formulated for this study were tested one after another. Results obtained are presented on the tables below
Hypothesis One: Extracts from the seed of Moringa Oleifera does not contain phytochemical components
Table 4.1 shows the retention rate and percentage area of G. C. M. S of Moringa Seed Extracts. As seen in the table, Benzene-l-ethyl-2, 3-dimethil-P-Cymene O-Cymene has retention rate of 13.869 and percentage area of 2.57. Dodeane has retention rate of 18.504 and percentage area of 3.39, n-Hexadecanoic acid has retention rate of 39.250 and percentage area of 77.95, while 9-Octa decanoic acid-2-hydroxylethyl ester Oleeic anhydride Oleoyl Chloride has retention rate of 44.507 and percentage area of 16.09 respectively.

ABSRACT - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]ABSTRACTMalaria is an increasing worldwide threat, with more than three hundred million infections and one million deaths every year. Due to the emergence of antimalarial drug resistance, the continuous search for antimalarial agents. This study was conducted to determine the antimalarial efficacy of Moringa oleifera Seed extract in Swiss albino mice infected with Plasmodium berghei .After extraction, phytochemical screening and gas chromatographic mass spectrometry (GC-MS) screening of the extr ...

CHAPTER ONE - [ Total Page(s): 2 ]A school of thought holds that, the solution to plasmodial resistance development rests in the use of traditional medicinal plants (Liu et al., 2010). Several authors have documented medicinal plants that are used in the treatment of malaria in Ghana and other African countries (Cox, 2010). The story behind the discovery of the artemisinins, as an example, seeks to provide a head way in the discovery of bioactive constituents from medicinal plants for combating malaria (Cox, 2010). ...

CHAPTER TWO - [ Total Page(s): 13 ]Leaves and seed are the parts of the plant of interest. Accordingly, the spatial distribution in planting Moringa oleifera trees is designed to facilitate the relevant harvest and the management practices.For production of leaves, Moringa oleifera plantation can be designed as follows:(i) Intensive production with spacing ranging from 10 cm × 10 cm to 20 cm × 20 cm, harvest interval between 35 to 45 days, irrigation and fertilization are needed;(ii) semintensive production wi ...

CHAPTER THREE - [ Total Page(s): 4 ]Figure 9: Schematic layout of a GC/MS instrument.The stationary phase in Gas Chromatography is commonly a packing of inert, small diameter particles (such as diatomaceous earth) with a nonpolar liquid coating them, or just a liquid coating on the inner surface of the column. This liquid is a very thin layer (0.1 to 5 μm), usually a polydimethyl siloxane (shown below) where some of the –CH3 groups can be altered so as to match the polarity of the analytes. A parameter common ... Continue reading---
CHAPTER FIVE - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]CHAPTER FIVE5.0 DISCUSSION, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONSThis study investigated in-vivo antiplasmodium of Moringa Oleifera seed extract. Related literature review was made considering scholars explanation of the subject matter. Relevant data for the study was generated through laboratory experiments conducted by the researchers. Three hypotheses were postulated and tested for the purpose of the study. The hypotheses were tested in this study using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Duncan Multip ... Continue reading---
