Proximate composition of Vitex doniana and Saba comorensis fruits

Abstract The wild fruits of Vitex doniana and Saba comorensis were randomly collected from Pwani and Tanga regions. Laboratory analysis was done using the methods described by the Association of Official Analytical Chemists AOAC (1995 and 2000). The amount of protein was 7.13 ± 0.04% and 21.73 ± 0.02% in V. doniana fruits while the fat contents were 2.4 ± 0.00% and 1.9 ± 0.10% in V. doniana fruits. The amount of fats in S. comorensis fruits ranged from 0.00 to 0.01% for the fruit samples from both Pwani and Tanga regions, however the differences was not statistically significant ( P > 0.05)...
