    The document reports results from several analyses performed on various samples including moisture content, ash content, lipid content, fiber content, and protein content. Formulas are provided to calculate each value from the raw data presented in tables. Moisture content, ash content, lipid content, and protein content are calculated as percentages. Fiber content is determined by subtracting crucible weights before and after a sample is added and then heated.

    Crude protein (%) was estimated using the following formula:


    Total nitrogen (%) = (Titration - Blank) X N X 14.007 X 100
    Sample weight (mg)
    Where, 14.007= the atomic weight of nitrogen
    N= the normality of HCL used in titration
    Crude protein (%) = Total Nitrogen (%) X 6.25
