Determination of Proximate Composition, Ascorbic Acid and Heavy Metals Content in Dialium Guineense
The pulp of Dialium guineense (Velvet tamarind) was analyzed and the proximate analysis and mineral composition evaluated. The pulp contained 30% moisture content, 7.09% crude protein, 0.75% crude lipid and below detection limit for crude fiber, 2% ash content, 57.04% available carbohydrate and energy value 263.27(KJ/100g). Mineral composition and Vitamin C content for the samples were investig...
متن کاملAntioxidant activity, total phenols and phytochemical constituents of four underutilised tropical fruits
The antioxidant activity, total phenols content and phytochemical constituents of edible portions of four underutilised tropical fruits; Irvingia gabonensis (African mango), Artocarpus altilis (breadfruit), Annona muricata (soursop) and Annona squamosa (sweetsop) were determined. Extracts of fruit samples were screened for selected phytochemicals using standard methods whereas the total phenols...
متن کاملDetermination of Ascorbic Acid Contents of Fruits and Vegetables
Ascorbic acid contents of some fruits and vegetables in Abakaliki were analyzed through titrimetric methods. The results recorded the concentrations (mg/100g) of ascorbic acids in various fruits as orange (15.47 ± 0.23), lemon (12.87 ± 0.45), grape (2.00 ± 0.10), paw-paw (46.40 ± 1.65), apple (2.20 ± 0.10), banana (1.87 ± 0.06), carrot (1.80 ± 0.04), pineapple (2.80 ± 0.10), water melon (2.27 ±...
متن کاملAssessment on proximate composition, dietary fiber, phytic acid and protein hydrolysis of germinated Ecuatorian brown rice.
Germinated brown rice (GBR) is considered healthier than brown rice (BR) but its nutritive value has been hardly studied. Since nutritive quality of GBR depends on genetic diversity and germination conditions, six Ecuadorian BR varieties were germinated at 28 and 34 ºC for 48 and 96 h in darkness and proximate composition, dietary fiber fractions, phytic acid content as well as degree of protei...
متن کاملProximate and fatty acid composition of liver and fatty tissue of patincatfish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus)
The visceral storage fat and liver of patin catfish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus) are normally discarded, which incurs cost and can cause environmental pollution. However, these may be potential sources to extract fish oil. The proximate and fatty acid compositions of liver and fatty tissue of patin catfish were investigated to evaluate the suitability of these by-products for extracting fish o...
