    abstract = {The  proximate  and   mineral  compositions,  gross  energy,  sugars,  oligosaccharides   and  some anti-nutrient substances of raw, soaked, dehulled and germinated bambara groundnut seeds were determined. Crude  protein,  ash,  crude fibre, nitrogen free extract and gross energy values were significantly (p<0.05) highest  in  Germinated  Bambara  Groundnut (GBG), compared to soaked and Dehulled Bambara Groundnut (SBG and DBG). Ether extract was significantly (p<0.0) reduced in DBG and GBG samples, but statistically highest in RBG and SBG seeds. Calcium, potassium and magnesium levels were significantly (p<0.05) higher in GBG seeds compared to the values in SBG and DBG. The value of phosphorous in RBG was significantly (p<0.05) reduced by dehulling and germination, but not affected by soaking.  Sucrose and glucose levels of processed bambara groundnut seeds were significantly (p<0.05) highest in GBG samples than other processed samples. Whereas, the raffinose, stachyose, trypsin inhibitor activity, haemagglutinin, tannin and phytin contents were significantly (p<0.05) reduced by all the processing methods with the least value recorded in GBG.  The  results  indicate  that  germination  enhanced  the  nutrient  contents  and drastically reduced the anti-nutrient components of raw bambara groundnut seeds.}
