The results indicated that, husk tomato has higher amounts of crude protein, crude fat, crude fiber and ash compared with persimmon fruits. Iron (Fe) was the most predominant of micro-elements found in persimmon and husk tomato. Persimmon fruits contained much more Vit. K content compared with husk tomato fruits. Glucose, arabinose, xylose, glactose and fructose were the predominant sugars of both of persimmon and husk tomato fruits. The major flavonoids of persimmon fruits were narengin, luteolin, hesperidin, quercetrin and rosmarinic acid, while it were rosmarinic acid, luteolin, rutin, querectin and narengin in husk tomato fruits.
