COMPARISON OF DIETARY PROXIMATE AND MINERAL VALUES OF TWO VARIETIES OF BEAN
Journal Title: ASIAN JOURNAL OF NATURAL & APPLIED SCIENCES - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
The proximate and the mineral analysis of the locust bean and pigeon pea were determined. In the proximate composition, the ash content, moisture content fat content, crude fibre, protein and carbohydrate of locust bean were found to be (%) 3.07, 1.32, 8.06, 0.39, 33.89, and 53.27 respectively while in pigeon pea this composition was found to be (%) 9.93, 0.24, 3.68, 5.54, 30.53 and 50.08 respectively. This result revealed that both samples had relatively high content of protein and carbohydrate. The result of mineral analysis showed that both samples contain very low level of minerals, ranged between (mg/kg) 0.21 and 0.39, while Mn and Cu were not detected in pigeon pea likewise Cu was not detected in locust bean.
