Abstract
This study presents a comparative analysis of the mineral and vitamin contents of cashew nut milk and walnut milk. The research reveals that the mineral content values of calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, copper ,iron ,sodium, manganese and selenium respectively ranged as follows: (7.98-11.02)mg/100g, (8.30-10.01)mg/100g, (8.00-10.00mg/100g, (16.93-28.99)mg/100g, (0.32-0.52)mg/100g ,(0.20-0.33)mg/100g, (0.11-0.22)mg/100g, (3.03-5.02)mg/100g,(0.10-0.22)mg/100g,(0.52-1.00)mg/100g. Where walnut milk recorded the highest values in magnesium, phosphorus, zinc, copper, iron, manganese and selenium. In the Vitamin content analysis, the contents respectively ranged as follows; (0.01-0.21)mg/100g,(0.02-0.32)mg/100, (0.13-0.62)mg/100g, (0.10-0.12)mg/100g, (0.01-0.21)mg/100g, (0.01-0.10)mg/100g, (0.02-0.12)mg/100g, (0.49-3.02)mg/100g, (1.31-2.02)mg/100g,and (0.26-1.03)mg/100g. Cashew nut milk recorded the highest values in Vitamin B1, B2, B6, B7, B9, C, E and K with exceptions in vitamin B3 and B5 .There was significant differences (p
