Abstract :Objective: In this study, the nutritional parameters such as moisture, ash, crude fiber, crude protein, crude fat, carbohydrate and nutritive value of sage insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Salvia officinalis);, linden insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Tilia platyphyllos);, thyme insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Thymus vulgaris);, daisy insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Matricaria chamomilla); and ginger insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Zingiber officinale); plants sold in Bingol herbalists and widely used for treatment among the public were determined by analysis. Methods: In 2019, 5 different medicinal plant samples were obtained from 3 different herbalists in Bingöl. Afterwards, the nutritional contents of these plants were analyzed using official Association of Official Analytical Chemists insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(AOAC); methods and different biochemical methods. Results: Moisture, ash, crude protein, crude fat, crude fiber, carbohydrate percentages and nutritional values insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(kcal/100g); of the studied plant samples insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.10 %- 5.67, 4.67 - 11.89, 6.59 - 18.22, 2.12 - 6.80, 16.65 - 29.16, 40.18 - 63.68 %and 245.66kcal - 347.49kcal);, respectively. The moisture contents of sage, linden and daisy samples were determined as 0.85 % to 4.84 % and they were found safe for consumption according to the Herbal Tea Standard of the TS 12933 Turkish Standards Institute,but ash levels exceeding the limit level of thyme samples insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(10.78-11.89 %); were found to be unsuitable. The moisture content of the thyme and ginger samples insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.10 - 5.67 %); insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(maximum 12 % for both);, as well as the ash content of the thyme samples insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(maximum 14 %); and ginger insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(maximum 12 %); all fall within the Turkish Food Codex limit values.While statistically significant differences were observed in moisture, ash, crude fiber, carbohydrate and nutritional value groups insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.05);, no difference was observed in crude protein and crude fat groups insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p>0.05);. The crude protein content of daisy insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(D2,D3); and linden insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(L1,L2); samples, the crude fiber content of daisy insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(D2,D3); and thyme insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(T1,T2,T3); samples, the carbohydrate content of ginger insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(G1,G2,G3); and sage insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(S1,S3); samples were all found to be high. Conclusion: Plants such as Salvia officinalis and Zingiber officinale, which are rich in carbohydrates, crude protein and crude fiber content, are used for medicinal purposes. In addition, plants with high nutritional value can be added to the herbal combination content of individuals following a vegetarian or vegan diet.
