The purpose of this study was to determine the major nutrients in carob pods powder, the fatty acid content of extracted oil using Gas liguid chromato -graphy (GLC), the amino acid content of protein and the effects of carob pods powder consumption for 30 days on glucose and lipid levels in rabbit blood. The results showed each hundred grams of carob pods powders contains 9.22g moisture, 8.39g protein, 4,01g oil, 11.0g ash and 51.9g carbohydrates. The content of linoleic acid and oleic acid were 45.0 and 35.3% of total lipid respectively while the glutamic acid and arginine were predominant. Sugar and total cholesterol level in rabbits bloods were significantly lower (p<0.01) and high density lipoprotein level was significantly higher (p<0.01) in the group of rabbits fed on carob pods powder compared with control group.
