“…All the processing methods registered significantly enhanced lipid content (11-69 %). The very farmer report of Ibiyemi et al (1988) supports this trend by the lipid gain of 46-123 % in P. filicoideae on boiling and roasting. On the other hand, crude fibre, ash and carbohydrate content were found to be decreased significantly upon all of the processing methods employed by 24-70 %, 12-59 % and 29-49 % respectively.…”

The present study has been undertaken to analyze the effect of various processing methods like (i) soaking followed by autoclaving with (a) ash, (b) sodium bicarbonate, (c) sugar and (d) water; (ii) dry heating and (iii) fermentation on nutritional and antinutritional components of under-utilized tree legume Parkia roxburghii. The applied methods were found to enhance the protein (15-36 %) and lipid content (11-69 %) and to decrease the other proximal components. All the methods significantly reduced the antinutrients viz. condensed tannins, phytate, saponins, trypsin inhibitors, chymotrypsin inhibitors and lectins. Exceptionally, increased content was documented on total phenolics (117-207 %) and tannins (171-257 %). These reduced antinutritional loads have led to an increase in protein (9-20 %) and starch digestibility (75-254 %). Fermented kernels, the best processed form showed characteristic leguminous pattern for content and composition of amino acids, fatty acids and minerals. So knowledge gathering and exploration of nutritionally balanced under-utilized legumes would enhance food and nutritional security.

“…Ibiyemi et al (1988) quoted an unsubstantiated figure of 250 fruit per mature plant. In contrast, Swanepoel (1993) reported that, over a four year period, baobabs in the Mana Pools area of the Zambezi River valley did not produce any mature fruit.…”

Article original The African baobab tree (Adansonia digitata L.): principal characteristics and uses. Abstract-Introduction. Very characteristic of Sahelian areas, Adansonia digitata L. belongs to the Bombacaceae family. Essentially exploited in a spontaneous state for its fruits or its leaves, the baobab plays an important role in the local traditional cultures. The plant. This very big tree is clearly distinguishable from the other Adansonia species endemic in Madagascar and Australia, mainly by its very large trunk (up to 10 m in diameter), its pendular flowers and its rounded crown. It produces (150 to 300) g dry berries with a woody epicarp, most of the time ovoid, called "monkey bread". These fruits contain many seeds in a whitish and floury pulp. The compounded leaves consist of five to seven digitate leaflets. The baobab distribution area is very large. Very rustic, it is found in most of South Sahara's semi-arid and sub-humid regions as well as in the west side of Madagascar. The plant phenology depends on the rains profile, flowering and foliation occurring during the rainy season. Pollination is done by bats. The tree can be propagated by seeding or vegetative multiplication. The fruit. It consists of (14 to 28)% of pulp with a low moisture content, acidic, starchy, rich in vitamin C, in calcium and magnesium. After separating of the seeds, the pulp is traditionally used as an ingredient in various preparations or to make beverages. In spite of some deficiency in lysine and the presence of some anti-nutritional factors, the seeds are an interesting protein source. They contain about 15% of lipids. After cooking or grilling, they are either directly consumed or used like thickeners in powder form. The leaves. They are rich in vitamins (especially C and A) and in iron, and contain mucilage (10% dm). The youngest can be consumed as vegetables, but they are often dried and then reduced into powder. Conclusion. Among the food products obtained from the baobab, the fruit pulp seems to have the strongest economic potential. Nevertheless, the local markets have to be evaluated. The development of the production of baobab fruits needs more investigation into the agronomy of the tree.

Très caractéristique des zones sahéliennes, Adansonia digitata L. appartient à la famille des Bombacacées. Essentiellement exploité à l'état spontané pour ses fruits ou ses feuilles, le baobab est ancré dans les cultures traditionnelles locales. La plante. Cet arbre imposant se distingue des autres espèces d'Adansonia endémiques à Madagascar et à l'Australie par son tronc très massif (10 m de diamètre), ses fleurs à port pendulaire et sa cime arrondie. Il produit des baies sèches de (150 à 300) g, à épicarpe très lignifié, le plus souvent ovoïdes et dénommées pain de singe. Les nombreuses graines sont noyées dans une pulpe blanchâtre et farineuse.
