Abstract

The physicochemical changes in pawpaw (Carica papaya) seeds during normal storage ripening stages (mature unripe, ripe and overripe) were investigated in terms of the proximate, mineral and antinutritional composition using standard analytical techniques. From the analysis, the % proximate composition of mature unripe, ripe and overripe pawpaw seeds showed that it has moisture content (5.00±0.01, 10.00±0.02, 10.00±0.02), ash content (8.00±0.03, 9.00±0.02, 9.00±0.05), crude fibre (32.00±0.01, 35.00±0.01,
