چکیده
Five varieties of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) were analysed for their proximate composition, major mineral elements and carbohydrate fractions. Values crude protein ranged from 25.80% to 28.95% while the ether extract, fibre, total ash had following values: 1.83 - 2.37%, 3.06 4.48%, 5.80 7.10% 50.46 55.76% respectively. The average values phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, potassium sodium 0.400%, 0.019%, 0.345%, 1.280% 0.046% Ethanol soluble sugars between 4.78g/100g 6.14/100g starch contents varied 32.97g,100g 44.269100g. Raffinose stacliyose 1.55 2.44g/100g 3.33-435g/100g
