ABSTRACT
The analysis for the proximate composition of turmeric was carried out using standard analytical method. The result of the analysis reveals that the sample contains all the analyzed parameters and the results were as follow; moisture 61.20±0.07, Ash 10.28±0.15, fiber 12.57±0.25, fat 8.70±0.31, protein 16.21±0.06, carbohydrate 52.24±0.10 and calorie required Dietary Allowance Standard, it reveals that the sample is a poor source of the analyzed parameter, but can be used to boast the concentration of the parameter s. hence, it is recommended for human consumption.
