Abstract :
This study focused on immunonutrition which
is referring to boosting immune system response through
diet. In this study, the effect ofthe blending ratio of millet
and guinea corn on their nutritional value was
investigated for vitamin K, vitamin D, and Zinc
mineralswhich are considered to help bolster immunity
and their relevance in the fight against covid-19.The
proximate analysis result showed that guinea corn has a
higher value of ash, carbohydrate, and crude protein
contents whilemillet on the other hand has a higher
moisture content, calorific value, crude lipids, and crude
fiber contents as compared to that of guinea corn. Using
Design Expert for experimental design, a mixture DOptimal design was employed. The analysis of variance
(ANOVA) for the yield of vitamin K and D, and Zinc
