DETERMINATION OF MAGNESIUM AND PHOSPHORUS CONTENT OF SNAIL SHELL
ABSTRACT This study was aimed at determining the magnesium and phosphorus composition of snail shell. Standard analytical methods were employed in carryout the analysis. The result of the study revealed the following concentrations for magnesium; sample A (18.215 mg/100g), sample B (22.441 mg/100g), Sample C (35.892 mg/100g), sample D (11.810 mg/100g). while the concentration of phosphorus in the samples were as follows; sample A (9.552 mg/100g), sample B (6.715 mg/100g), sample C (11.159 mg/100g) and sample D (8.425 mg/100g).
