Accordingly, TW's samples composition (moisture, ash, protein, fat and nitrogen free extract) determined using AOAC methods, minerals including Na, K and Ca heavy metals including Cu, Cd and Zn determined via atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The AFM 1 measured using thin layer chromatography (TLC) whereas, fatty acids and t… Show more
