This study aims to determine the carbohydrate, protein, and fat content of durian (Durio zibethinus Murr) seeds from Parigi Moutong. This study consisted of two samples, namely, sample A (crushed durian seeds) and sample B (mashed and sifted durian seeds)—Soxhlet method. The results obtained in sample A for carbohydrate content of 52.8 %, protein 3.50 % and fat 2.06 % while in sample B for carbohydrate content of 43.2 %, protein 2.27 % and fat 2.25 %. Based on the results obtained, durian seed flour can be used as processed food and can be of economic value if it is further processed and traded.
