Phytochemical, Elemental, Proximate, and Antinutrient Composition of Custard Apple Seed (Annona Reticulata) from Maiha Adamawa State, Nigeria
The Proximate, phytochemicals, elemental and antinutrients of annona reticulata seed collected from Michika were investigated. The Proximate, phytochemicals, and antinutrients were determined using standard methods, while the elemental composition was determined using Atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS) and flame photometer. The result of the proximate analysis shows the presence of Moisture (15.20± 0.02%), crude fibre (32.00 ± 0.01%), crude fat (30.34 ± 0.04 %), ash content (4.5 ± 0.00%), protein (17.12 ± 0.01%) and carbohydrate (37.91± 0.05 %) in the seed..
Phytochemicals, Elemental, Proimate Analysis and Anti-Nutrient Composition of Citrus aurantifolia Seeds
In this study the phytochemicals, elemental, proximate analysis and anti-nutrient composition of citrus aurantifolia seeds was investigated. Fresh matured and unaffected fruits of citrus aurantifolia was bought in Mubi market. They fruits were cut opened and the seeds were removed, dried and pulverized it to powder. Phytochemical composition, proximate analysis and anti- nutrients in seed were determined using standard laboratory procedure. While elemental composition were determined using flame photometer and atomic absorption spectrophotometer.
