Nutritional and antinutritional composition of Synsepalum dulcificum seeds

Purpose: This study was designed to explore the nutritional (proximate, mineral, vitamin) and antinutritional compositions of Synsepalumdulcificum seeds.Method: proximate, vitamin were evaluated inSynsepalum dulcificum seeds using standard procedures.Results: Proximate composition showed moisture content (44.30 ± 0.26%), ash (1.44 0.14%), crude fat (1.33 0.58%), fibre (1.30 protein (12.32 0.10%) carbohydrates (39.31 0.57%). Mineral analysis presence some elements such as potassium, sodium, manganese, calcium, phosphorus, iron. Result that contain C (4.84 0.95mg/g), A (3.02 0.47 mg/g) E (0.47± 0.01mg/g). The parameters analyzed oxalate (8.42 1.63%), phytate (4.57 0.48%) hemagglutinin (3.74 0.01%).Conclusion: results this indicated S. have appreciable contents (such protein, minerals vitamins) are immense health benefits low antinutrient content. Further studies aimed at utilization seed in human livestock nutrition is warranted.
