dc.description.abstract	Present study aimed to analyze the seed of Pterygota alata that is commonly known as Buddha coconut. The seed of Pterygota alata was analyzed to establish its nutritional composition. The result of the proximate analysis revealed that the seed contains 9.93% moisture, 1.88% ash, 24.64 % protein, 42.18% fat, 21.37% carbohydrate and 563.66 kcal/100g caloric value. Due to its low moisture quantity the seed could be stored for a longer time. The seed may be used as dietary supplements for its appreciable amount of protein and fat content. It could be an interest as a raw material for oil production industry for its high fat percentage. Along with this, the seeds could also be used as an ingredient of animal feed because of its low ash content.
