Abstract

AbstractThe mineral content and nutritional value of Chrysophyllum albidum fruit has been studied. Fresh fruit samples, both untreated and treated with 2,4‐dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, were investigated. Analyses for moisture, ash, crude fibre, oil, protein, starch, sugar, ascorbic acid, and mineral elements contents in the edible portions of each sample showed that both samples retained their freshness equally. The mineral elements present (K, P, S, Ca, Mg, Fe, Al and Zn) and the crude fibre also showed no significant difference between samples. The contribution of all of these minerals to the Recommended Dietary Allowance was quite significant.
