Date palm fruit samples were purchased from the market at Otefe-Oghara, in Ethiope West Local Government Area. The samples were air-dried and ground into powder. 2g of the date powder was added to 100ml of distilled water and diluted to 500ml. The analysis was done with the spectrophotometer instrument. The instrument was calibrated with a standard solution of calcium and iron to obtain a calibration curve. The concentration of the date fruit solution was determined using the instrument. Date palm fruit contains the two elements, Iron (Fe) and Calcium (Ca). Calcium concentration (17.76mgkg-1) and Iron (13.46mgkg-1). World Health Organization (WHO) recommended daily amount (RDA) of calcium is 500mgday-1 and iron is 8mgday-1. The result shows that the quantity of calcium in date palm nut when taken in the right quantity is sufficient for the development of bone while the quantity of iron could be sufficient for the formation of haemoglobin....Preview Download Preview +Other Science Technology project topics and materials you might be interested in»Bacteriological qualities of food thickener deuterium microcarpum (ofor) and brachystegia eurcycoma (achi) sold in Owerri main market»Obstacle detection robot with ultrasonic sensor»Design and construction of cell phone charger»Physiochemical assessment of soil samples from Nwambe Reserve Forest, Ndubia Igagu Izzi L.G.A, Ebonyi State.»Antitrypanosomal activity of ethanol extract of Tridax Procumbent leaf and whole flower on T.
