    abstract = {The proximate, mineral and phytochemical composition of <I>tetrapleura tetraptera </I>were investigated using standard methods. The result of the phytochemical analysis showed the presence of alkoloids (1%), flavonoids (2.5%) saponins (20%) and tannins (0.12%). The proximate analysis grave ash (9%), fibre (45%) oil (4%), moisture (3%) crude protein (5.6), while the mineral analysis revealed in mg 100 g <SUP>1</SUP> ca (1.68), Fe (12.02), K (7.74), Zn (10.69), Na (4.74), Mg (2.4), P (1.3), Cd (BDL) Pb (BDL). The relevance of these constituents to the native use of this fruit was discussed.}
