analysis. The
populationin
this study was generated from the wheatgrass
in Maros. Samplingin this study was carried out by random sampling and got 4 formulations of wheatgrass juice.

content (from 02,16 to 8,4825 g), protein content (0,9225 to 1,1025 g), fat content (0,05175
to 0,14625 g), while thecontent of micro nutrients
consisting of iron levels (1,52 to 1,8825 mg), magnesium
levels(6,715-24,1825 mg), sodium levels (19,935-73,4325
mg), potasium levels (127,84 to 271,7825 mg). Research conclusion that the best formula is the formula
