Abstract
the goal of this research is to determine, quantify and compare the crude protein and lipid in C. rotundus and C. tuberosus.10g each of C. rotundus and C. tuberosus was weighed and ground.4g of each ground sample was taken to determine protein and 1g for lipid respectively. Both crude protein and lipid were determined. Statistically, the mean percentage protein was significantly higher (pless than0.05) in C. rotundus than that of C. tuberosus. Statistical mean percentage lipid significantly higher (pless than0.05) in C. rotundus was found in while lower in C. tuberosus. Hence, C. rotundus has higher macromolecules than C. rotundus and more preferred for use than C. tuberosus.
