Abstract:Previous studies have evaluated the nutritive potential of Allanblackia oils. Oil extraction from Allanblackia is done after a pretreatment of the kernels which has an influence on oil quality. In Cameroon, the pretreatment consists of cooking, followed by drying of the almonds in the sun. The oil is either edible or used as a body cream. Because of these important applications, it is necessary to determine treatment conditions that maximize extraction yields and preserve its quality. This study was aimed at f… Show more
