It is also known as yellow nut sedge, earth or ground almonds,“souchet” in French,“ermandeln” in German and“chufa” in Spanish. Tigernut has been for many years one of the underutilized food crops in Nigeria. It is mostly eaten raw as a snack and is un-identified as a very important food crop that has great potential in managing, preventing and eliminating malnutrition (macronutrient and micronutrient deficiencies) or food insecurity problems. The aim of the study is to comparatively analyze the vitamin content of sun-dried and fresh tigernut. This study was limited to a comparative analysis of the vitamin contents of fresh and sun-dried tiger nuts. The tiger nuts were sourced from local vendors available in Oko, Orumba North Local Government Area, Anambra State. Vitamin C or Ascorbic Acid (AA) will be determined by 2, 4 dinitrophenyl hydrazine method of Roe and Kuethe described by Ball (2014) using colourimetric method. Vitamin E will be determined by spectrophotometric methods. The vitamin C values ranged from 30.90– 31.52 mg and vitamin E 4.71– 5.26 mg per 100 g of sample....Preview Download Preview +Other Microbiology project topics and materials you might be interested in»Isolation and identification of microbes associated with spoilage bread»Bacterial analysis of urine polluted environment in federal polytechnic Nekede, Owerri»Microbiological quality of palm kernel fruits»Microbiological evaluation of home made grape juice»Therapeutic potential of Moringa Oleifera leaves»Antibacterial activity of honey on staphylococcus aureusescherichia coli and streptococcus pyogen isolated from wound»Bacteriological monitoring of abattoirs in Ehime Mbano in Imo state»Phytochemical screening and antimicrobial assessment of Spondias Mombin (Ijikara)»Proximate, selected vitamins, and minerals analysis of Moringa Oleifera»Biodeterioration of natural and artifical stone»Isolation and identification of bacterial aerosols bioaerosols dump sites in Yenagoa»The effect of crude avocado and pawpaw leaves extract on kidney function of guinea pigs»Microbial examination of raw meat obtained at main abattoir, Offa»Isolation and characterization of fungi associated with the spoilage of corn grown in farms in Rukpokwu community»Incidence of staphylococcus and salmonella species in Kunuaya retailed in Yenagoa
