ABSTRACT The determination of the macro-mineral composition of Vernonia amygdalina was carried out using standard procedure. The result of the study revealed the following P (3.33±0.002), Na (2.26±1.26), Ca (3.11±0.004),  Mg (2.14±0.007) and K (7.25±0.006). This result revealed that Vernonia amygdalina contains important macro mineral elements. Phosphorus was the highest in concentration while magnesium was the least. The researcher recommend that the leaves Vernonia amygdalina should be used as supplement in foods to improve the mineral composition of foods. Several…

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 ± 0.0056) while the seed was higher also in Oxalate (10.195 ± 0.0509), Phytate (1.889 ± 0.002) and Hydrogen Cyanide (HCN) (0.115 ± 0.0026). The fruit…
