Results: In nutritional analysis, carbohydrates (6.98 g/100g fw), protein (2.68 g/100 g fw), crude fat (0.13 mg/g dw) and crude fibre (32.58%) content were detected. The fruits of G. umbellata, Vitamin C (25 mg/100g fw) was higher when compared to other three vitamin evaluated, Four macro elements and 6 micro elements were also quantified.
