Values are means of three replicated samples. Means with different superscript letters across columns are significantly different ; 100SOR/0TIG, 100% sorghum and 0% tigernut; 90SOR/10TIG, 90% sorghum and 10% tigernut; 80SOR/20TIG, 80% sorghum and 20% tigernut; 70SOR/30TIG, 70% sorghum and 30% tigernut; 60SOR/40TIG, 60% sorghum and 40% tigernut; 50SOR/50TIG, 50% sorghum and 50% tigernut.
