Abstract
The nutritional compositions of Hunteria umbellata (HU) seed and Syzygum aromaticum bud (SA) were examined in this study using standard procedures described by Association of Analytical Chemistry. The proximate composition (%) of the HU seed and SA bud are as follows; crude protein (12.03) and (7.53), crude fibre (13.30) and (27.91), crude fat (4.40) and (27.00), ash (3.49) and (5.22), moisture (6.50) and (25.93) and carbohydrate (60.28) and (6.41) which was significantly difference from each other. Hunteria umbellata seed is considered as a good source of dietary protein and contain low amount of crude fat compare to Syzygium aromaticum bud, which can aid in management of diabetes whereas SA bud also contributes via low amount of dietary carbohydrate and high amount of crude fiber which aids in digestibility of starch. In view of these attributes, both plants can work synergetically to aid in management of diabetes condition.
