Comparative study on effect of aluminium phosphide on some nutrients and anti-nutritional factors in <em>Arachis hypogaea</em>

Abstract

The nutrients and anti-nutrients of freshly harvested Arachis hypogaea aluminium phosphide preserved (APP) non-aluminium phosphide preserved (NAPP) were investigated. The study aimed at determining the effect of aluminium phosphide on nutrients and anti-nutrients levels of legumes using A. hypogaea as a case study. The proximate composition, minerals profile and anti-nutrients were estimated using standard analytical methods. The proximate compositions showed that NAPP is significantly (p
