Abstract

Date is an underutilized crop in Nigeria, there is needs to diversify and enhance its uses. The amino acid and vitamin C determination of jam produced from date fruits enriched with apple and orange fruits at different proportions were investigated. Three (3) different blends of jam (coded has AA (Apple:Date), BB(Orange:Date) & CC(Apple:Orange:Date) were produced with strawberry jam (SS) purchased from a reputable store. The control which is SS has the lowest Vitamin C while CC has the highest value 9.82-11.23 respectively. The amino acid profile and vitamin C shows significant difference which might be due to mixed of fruits and bringing to boil technic done for the jam.
