ANTI-NUTRITIONAL FACTORS OF THE FOUR MAJOR PARTS OF Artocarpus heterophyllus

ANTI-NUTRITIONAL FACTORS OF THE FOUR MAJOR PARTS OF Artocarpus heterophyllus (JACKFRUIT)

ABSTRACT The study aimed at evaluating the Anti-nutrients composition of Jackfruit Rind, Pulp, Rag and Seed. The Jackfruit was purchased at Akpanadem Market, Aka Itiam Road, in Uyo Local Government Area, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. Anti-nutrients composition was evaluated using standard methods. Jackfruit Rind was higher in Oxalate (7.46 ± 0.028) and Tannin (3.637 ±

PROPERTIES OF CONCRETE USING LATERITE AS FINE AGGREGATE

AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE PROPERTIES OF CONCRETE USING LATERITE AS FINE AGGREGATE

ABSTRACT During the pre-independence of the building culture in Nigeria, laterite were mainly used for making blocks which were accurate durable and accessible enough for them to meet their housing needs. One of the aim and objective of this project is to determine the compressive strength of concrete cubes. The sample was collected from Julius
