Abstract
The current study was conducted to assess the proximate composition of Chenopodium album collected from different tehsils i.e. Mianwali, Esakhel, Piplan, of district Mianwali. The highest moisture (84.22±0.86%) and ash (29.96±2.12%) content was found in Chenopodium album collected from Piplan and Mianwali respectively. The maximum crude fiber (14.61±1.83%) and ether extract (27.11±0.21%) was reported in Piplan. The maximum crude protein (0.87±0.036%) and carbohydrates (11.67±1.38%) was observed in Esakhel while variation in proximate composition of Chenopodium album collected from different localities may be attributed to environmental factor (soil composition, water, temperature, light etc.) or may be due to spatial variation.
