Abstract
The result for proximate analysis on Semolina (Triticum turgidum L. var. durum) showed carbohydrates 76.31±0.51, crude fibre 2.43±0.10, Ash 1.86±0.43, crude fat 1.14±0.05, protein 9.14±0.22 and moisture 9.11±0.07. From the results Semolina has high carbohydrates content and the low value of moisture content indicates the longer shelf life. The results of the mineral content showed the presence of calcium 5.57±0.25, magnesium 0.94±0.27, potassium 116.57±3.96, copper 0.02±0.01, zinc 0.97±0.05 and iron 0.87±0.21 in the sample.
