Abstract

In this work the nutritional and anti-nutritional composition of Ximenia americana fruit is investigate using standard analytical methods. The results of proximate analysis of the fruit on dry weight basis shows that it contains, Crude protein (7.26%), Crude lipid (13.0%), ash (10.5%), and moisture (64%Wet Weight), The pulp contains appreciable concentration of ascorbic acid (21.12 mg/100g). The mineral analysis, revealed that the pulp is rich in potassium (690mg/100g), magnesium (10.67mg/100g) phosphorus (4.48mg/100g), Calcium (0.65mg/100g) and sodium (45mg/100g). The analysis further revealed high content of Tannins (74.8mg/100g) and phytate (29.43mg/100g). This shows that the sample can serve as good source of mineral to both human and livestock.
