The present investigation was carried out to determine the presence of vitamins, minerals and amino acids in palmyra palm fruit pulp.HPLC technique has been used for the determination of amino acids and vitamins.Minerals were estimated by AOAC methods.The results indicated that the content of fat soluble vitamins D3 (0.970 µg), vit E (0.020µg) and K (0.004µg) and the Vitamin A (retinol acetate) was found below detectable level.Thiamine was 0.523 µg whereas riboflavin, pyridoxine and niacin were 9 µg, 3.9 µg and 0.5 µg respectively.Ascorbic acid was estimated by 2, 6-dichlorophenol indophenol (DCPIP) titration method and its content was 16.9 mg/100gm.The pulp contains high amount of sodium (20mg/100gm) followed by Phosphorus (15 mg/100gm), magnesium (10.2 mg/100g), copper (10mg/100g) and calcium (8.76 mg/100 g).Some of EAA s and NEAA are present in the pulp.
