ABSTRACT
This study investigate the
nutritional potential of an instant breakfast formulation derived from palmyra
palm shoot (Borassus flabellifer), acha {Digitaria exilis), and akidi (Vigaa
unguiculdta'). The primary objectives of this research are threefold: to develop
flour from these indigenous raw materials, to assess their proximate
composition and anti-nutritional factors, and to evaluate their nutritional
qualities with a focus on biological activity. Flour samples were prepared from
each ingredient, and comprehensive analyses were conducted to determine
macronutrient profiles, including protein, carbohydrate, and fat content, as
well as to measure anti-nutritional compounds such as tannins, phytates, and
oxalates. Additionally, biological assays were employed to gauge the
bioavailability of essential nutrients, providing insight into the potential
health benefits of the formulated instant breakfast product. The findings of
this study aim to support the use of underutilized local crops as nutritious
and sustainable food sources, contributing to food security and dietary
diversification.
