The objective of this study is to develop a ketogenic diet model using cheap and readily available fiber sources.  METHODS: Cabbage head and coconut fruits were obtained and processed into fiber and ketogenic diet chow. They were further analyzed using standard methods for proximate, mineral, and heavy metals, phytochemicals, and DPPH radical scavenging assay. RESULTS: Carbohydrate content of the samples were (3.35, 4.00, 3.16 and 2.08%) for cabbage feed, coconut feed, coconut fiber, and cabbage fibers, respectively. This conforms to the maximal 4% carbohydrate required for ketogenic diet daily allowable limit. Other nutrients such as lipids and proteins were in high and moderate amounts respectively. Phytochemicals were also present in varied proportions in the samples.  CONCLUSION: The developed cabbage and coconut fiber is an appropriate fiber source for ketogenic diet preparation. They are rich in nutrients based on their mineral content. They may be positioned as a nutraceutical for therapeutic and disease prevention action due to their inherent bioactive chemicals and radical scavenging activity. They may pose negligible toxicity risks as the few detected heavy metals are within permissible limits.  KEYWORDS: Fibers, ketogenic diet, cabbage, coconut, chemical analysis, and antioxidant   Author Biographies Omowumi Titilola Kayode, MOUNTAIN TOP UNIVERSITY Department of Biological Sciences.   Senior Lecturer Abolanle A.A Kayode, BABCOCK UNIVERSITY BIOCHEMISTRY DEPARTMENT Downloads [Abstract] [Full Article] Published 2022-01-31 Issue Vol. 12 No. 1 (2022): January 2022 Section Research Articles License Authors retain the copyright of their articles and grant the Functional Food Center (FFC) and its journals the right of first publication under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.
