The nutritional constituents of Bombax buonopozense calyx were determined using standard methods. Results obtained from the proximate analysis indicated the presence of moisture (4.70±0.51 %), ash (5.50±0.47 %), crude protein (7.20±0.29 %), crude lipid (3.10±0.14 %), crude fibre (18.00±0.18 %), carbohydrate (66.20±0.27 %), and caloric value (279.85±0.31 kcal/100g). Mean concentrations of sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, and phosphorus were 25.00±0.09, 160.00±0.13, 48.10±0.47, 28.13±0.33 and 163.00±0.21 mg/100g respectively while measured values for functional properties were bulk density (0.52±0.01 g/cm3), water absorption capacity (2.35±0.35 %), oil absorption capacity (2.20±0.19 %), foaming capacity (13.72±0.27 %) and foaming stability (5.88±0.41 %). The results obtained compared favourably with most food materials and indicated that Bombax buonopozense calyx may be a good source of nutrients.
