Proximate Composition of Seeds of Some Lesser-Known Crops

Seeds of Jatropha curcas, Trichosanthes cucumerina, Annona muricata and Citrullus vulgaris were analysed for proximate composition, cell wall carbohydrates, nutritive and non-nutritive components and then their energy values were estimated. Crop seeds contained per kg: 113.1 - 324.5 g crude protein,...
