Study of chemical composition and mineral content of sun dried Azolla pinnata

Year: 2018

Type: article

Abstract: In present study sun dried sample of Azolla pinnata was used for chemical composition analysis. The proximate composition, fibre fractions of cell wall constituents and minerals composition were estimated by standard methods. The proximate composition and cell wall constituent and trace minerals (Cu, Zn, Mn and Fe) of sun dried Azolla were estimated by standard methods. Dry matter, Crude protein, Organic matter, Eather extract and Total ash were 90.00±0.77, 22.05±0.72, 81.05±0.44, 3.25±0.76 and 18.94±0.31. The NDF, ADF, hemicellulose, lignin and cellulose content were 48.25±0.48, 37.14±0.11, 11.11±0.29, 8.07±0.25 and 28.87±0.64. The Zn (ppm), Cu (ppm), Mn (ppm), Fe (ppm) and Ca (%) was 30.02±2.39, 26.29±1.41, 348.17±7.26, 533.12±96.56 and 0.33± 0.03.
