Study of Proximate Composition of Seed and Peel of (Azanza garckeana) Goron Tula

Aims: This study aimed at assessing nutritional composition of the seed and peel of Azanza garckeana.Methodology: The fruit ofA. garckeanawas purchased from old Market in sokoto, sokotoState, Nigeria. The proximate compositions were determined using standard method of AOAC.Results:The result of the analysis revealed that, the carbohydrate content (47.88% and 45.32%) was the most abundant biological component in both the seed and peel followed by crude fibre (29.00% and 28.05%) respectively. However, no significance difference was observed between the seed and peel for both carbohydrate and crude fibre. The crude lipid (10.70%) and crude protein (10.01%) of the peel was significantly higher than that of the seed (6.60% and 4.85% respectively). Ash (5.10%, 8.33%) and moisture content (6.66%, 5.00%) in both samples were also found in considerable amount.Conclusion:This result shows that thepeel of Azanza garckeana, which is ordinarilyconsidered as waste, may possess nutritional benefits
