This study was conducted to compare proximate chemical composition, metals contents and some functional
properties in three parts of Grewia tenax (forssk) fiori fruits of the two Sudanese varieties of south Darfur and north
Kordofan regions. Results on moisture, total ash, crude fiber, crude protein, crude fat and carbohydrate contents
where in the range between 5.91-5.33, 1.67-4.41, 7.82-15.27, 3.71-7.85, 0.17-8.81, 58.12-77.88 g/100 g DM,
respectively, some significant differences (p˂0.05) were found between the two varieties in the fruits part as crude
fiber and protein contents, since the north Kordofan fruits variety had higher values of 13.61% and 7.85%
respectively, the pulps of the two varieties were significantly (p˂0.05) differ on the content of the fiber and
carbohydrate, with the highest carbohydrate content value of 77.88% for the south Darf.. View More»
