    Abstract: The proximate, chemical and amino acid composition of four oven dried shell fish meat samples were analysed, Clam, (Mercenaria mercenaria), Whelk, (Thias coronata), Oyster (Crassostrea gasar), and Periwinkle (Tympanotonus fuscatus). Results shows that whelk has the highest moisture content of 13.96±0.01, followed by oyster 8.99±0.00, clam, 8.98±0.0... Show More

    Abstract: The potential of margarine production from blends of melon and palm kernel oil was studied. Margarine samples were produced from composite oils containing 100:0, 80:20 and 70:30 melon seed oil and palm kernel oil, respectively. The physico-chemical composition, proximate properties and sensory evaluation were determined using standard methods. All ... Show More
