DOIAbstract
The nutritional potential of the peels of Citrus sinensis and Vitis vinifera was assessed by determining proximate and mineral composition. Results indicate carbohydeate content of the peels of Citrus sinensis and Vitis vinifera as 61.07% and 71.77% respectively. Other findings are crude fibre, 13.51% and 4.96%, proten, 3.73% and 11.35%, fats, 10.34% and 1.16%, moisture, 9.78% and 6.52% and ash 1.57% and 4.24%, for the Citrus sinensis and Vitis vinifera respectively. Mineral analysis revealed the order K>Ca>Mg>Na>Fe in the Citrus sinensis and K>Mg>Fe>Na>Ca in the Vitis vinifera. These results suggest that peels of Citrus sinensis and Vitis vinifera to be nutritive
