Abstract:

Jatropha curcas (Linnaeus) belongs to the family Euphorbiaceae and is closely related to other important cultivated plants like rubber tree and castor. Nigeria being a tropical country has wide variations in climatic and soil conditions and therefore has a wide variety of oil crops such as Jatropha. But the paucity of information on the proximate composition and utilization of its seeds in Nigeria is a problem when it comes to the genetic improvement of the crop. Information about nature and extent of genetic variability present in the Jatropha germplasm and association of various proximate co

This paper examines the proximate composition of ten commonly used seasonings (named A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I and J) in Nigeria. The data for this study were collected from Eke-Awka market in Anambra State as a representative of Nigeria using the simple random sampling method. The techniques of Single-factor Analysis of Variance and Kruskal-Wallis Test (One-Way ANOVA on Ranks) were employed in this study; Proximate compositions across the seasonings were tested for constant variance and normality.

In addition, anchovy is composed of well-balanced amino acid compositions containing eight essential amino acids and eight non-essential amino acids. The nutritive value of anchovies has become the reason for numerous food applications. Proximate analysis is vital in the food industry for the devel

Background: Annona muricata Linn is a notable, well-studied plant of therapeutic value. Based on the abundant pharmacological constituents contained in the understudied plant, it is imperative that the plant parts are investigated for nutritional value and anti-sickling potentials.

Therefore, the use of natural products is necessary and widely promoted in countries with poor health infrastructure. Methods

Prevailing methods concentrate on disentangling states and objects directly from visual features, disregarding potential enhancements that could arise from a data viewpoint.
