10.22376/ijpbs.2019.10.1.p1-12 Volume 1 Issue 4 2010 (October - December) Female and male dry samples of giant African crickets, lessThan i greaterThan Brachytrypes membranaceus lessThan /i greaterThan L were analysed. The comparison of female and male results showed that significant differences (p lessThan 0.05) existed in the correlation coefficients in the proximate composition (r lessThan sub greaterThan xy lessThan /sub greaterThan = 0.89), mineral composition (r lessThan sub greaterThan xy lessThan /sub greaterThan = 0.79), amino acids composition ((r lessThan sub greaterThan xy lessThan /sub greaterThan = 0.81), and amino acid scores (r lessThan sub greaterThan xy lessThan /sub greaterThan = 0.84); with corresponding regression coefficients (R lessThan sub greaterThan c lessThan /sub greaterThan ) of: proximate (0.74), minerals (0.62), amino acids (0.50) and amino acid scores (0.51). The above showed that the composition values in the female samples were higher than in the male samples in the various parameters determined. E.I. Adeyeye,E.E.
