Nutrient Composition of Some Nuts and Oilseeds Based Recipes of Assam, India

Proximate composition of wild and on-farm Tamarindus indica linn fruits in the agro-ecological zones of Uganda

“…It is a regulator of fluid balance and acid-base balance; major component of enzymes, antibodies and hormones; act as transporters in the body, and used for energy. Crude protein values in this study exceed values documented in other studies [22][23][24][25] but lower than values reported by Yusuf et al 11 and disagree with De Caluwé et al 35 who reported the T. indica seeds are good sources of protein than pulp. According to Pamela, 36 proteins from plant sources have lower quality but their combination with many other sources of protein such as animal protein result in adequate nutritional value.…”

“…21 Total ash, crude oil, crude fibre contents, crude oil were extracted using the soxhlet methods while crude protein were determined using Kjeldhal method according to standard procedures in AOAC. 21 Total carbohydrate was determined as 100 -(∑% of moisture content, total ash, crude protein, crude oil, crude fibre) according to Adepoju and Oyediran 22 and Das et al 23…”

Effect of Potassium on Growth, Yield and Quality of Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) Grown in Loamy Sand Soil

“…Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) contains high quality edible oil (48 per cent), easily digestible protein (26 per cent) and carbohydrates (20 per cent) therefore considered as "king of oilseed" among the oilseed crops and botanically classified in family Fabaceae (Das et al, 2005).Groundnut provides an inexpensive source of high quality dietary protein and oil to millions of people in world especially in developing counties also it is a source of considerable amounts of mineral elements to supplement the dietary requirements of humans and farm animals. (Asibuo et al, 2008).Peanut oil like other vegetable oil is determined on the ester which is made up of straight chain higher fatty acids…”

Growth, yield, yield attributes and economics of summer groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) as influenced by integrated nutrient management

“…The bulk of oil production in India is derived from groundnut, rapeseed, sesame, sunflower, soyabean and other minor oilseed crops, and among these crops, groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L) is the most dominant annual crop widely cultivated (Rathore and Kamble, 2008). In nutrition a new era is emerging that is characterized by search for dietary constituents that have benefits beyond those ascribed to the macro and micronutrients (Das et al, 2005). The use of organic amendments such as traditional generally as an effective means for improving soil aggregation, structure and fertility, improving the moisture holding capacity and increasing crop yields (Marinari et al, 2000).…”
