Proximate and Mineral compositions of three different species of Kola nut obtained from Minna central market
were carried out using standard analytical methods. From the result obtained from the analysis, the proximate
parameters ranged between 60.50- 63.50, 2.50-3.00, 8.65-8.70, 83.10-86.25 and 0.80-0.90% for moisture, ash,
crude protein, carbohydrate and crude fat respectively while the mineral compositions ranged between 0.10-1.35,
0.09-0.60 and0.11-2.35mg/g for Cola nitida, Cola acuminata and Garcina cola respectively with Garcina cola
having highest mineral compositions and Cola acuminata.
