Abstract
Nutrient, nutraceutical analysis and shelf life studies were carried out on Water Spinach (Ipomea aquatica) leaves to determine the differences in the leaves cultivated on Aquaponics and conventional one. Tilapia fishes were grown along with the plants. Leaves cultivated in Aquaponics showed higher yield and sensory qualities. Significant difference was found in many of the nutrient and nutraceutical components among both the treatments. Antioxidant property was also seen to be higher with significant difference statistically (T value-2.10).
