The proximate analysis of twelve common food Supplements: Soya bean (Glycine max,) millet (pennisetum typhoides),Maize ( Zea mays), Crayfish, African locust beans(parkia biglobosa) ,Benni seed(Sesamum indicum),Sorghum(Sorghum bicolour) Moringa Oleifera seeds and Leaves, Rice(brown)(Oryza Sativa L.), Garlic (Allium sativum) and Ginger (Zingeber officinale)The results obtained shows that the moisture content is highest in Ginger(wet) 74.72%,followed by Garlic(wet) 68.09% and the least obtained is in Rice(brown) 1.51%.The percentage yield on the Crude lipid of Moringa Oleifera Seed is high significantly 42.01% while Soya beans contain 20.47% and the least yield is in Rice(Brown) 1.97%.The results also show that the protein content of Crayfish is highest 67.05% while Maize contains the least content by 7.05%.The carbohydrate content is highest in Rice(Brown) 78.09% while Crayfish has the lowest carbohydrate content of 1.93%
