Abstract

Existence of a series of minerals not only can make different hormones, but also can regulate a standard heartbeat. Some macro-and micro-elements are found in the structure of teeth and bones, whereas most micro-elements play a vital role as a structural part in many enzymes. Macro-elements compared with micro-elements have a lot more considerable functions in nerve cells (transmission and signalling). This was a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with four treatments. The treatments consisted of four blend formulations: Mopani Worm Powder-Maize (MWPM 9: 1) blend, MWPM 4: 1, MWPM 2: 1, Maize (Control) and were replicated four times. They found that incorporation of Mopani Worm Powder into Mopani Worm-Maize Blended food product increased calcium, magnesium, sulphur, aluminium, cobalt, manganese, zinc and boron, while sodium, iron and molybdenum decreased. Incorporation of Mopani Worm Powder into Mopani Worm-Maize Blended food product increased animal protein that is rich in amino acids such as lysine absent in maize protein.
