“…Cependant, la plante contiendrait du tétramethylammonium de nitrate, substance mortelle, qui serait présent dans sa racine tubéreuse, ses pousses et ses feuilles [11,13]. La graine du fruit contient le même élément toxique que la racine mais dans des proportions inférieures.…”

“…Le fruit est consommé pendant les périodes de famine, après préparation minutieuse pour enlever le principe toxique. Malgré sa toxicité bien connue [11,13], cette espèce est absente des travaux de référence relatifs aux plantes médicinales et toxiques du Sénégal [14]. Nonobstant sa rareté dans le pays, la plante semble jouer un rôle important dans l'alimentation des populations autochtones de la sous-préfecture de Kéniéba où nous l'avons étudiée.…”

“…D'une façon globale, les teneurs en éléments minéraux et en azote du fruit de M. pseudopetalosa se rapprochent davantage de celles des légumes secs que de celles des fruits à baies. Les résultats que nous avons obtenus pour les protéines, matières minérales et matières grasses ont été plus élevés que ceux rapportés par Henry and Grindley[13]. Ces écarts pourraient être expliqués par l'évolution des méthodes d'analyse utilisées entre 1949 et maintenant.…”

Nutritive composition and energy contribution of the fruit of Maerua pseudopetalosa, a food extender in Senegal. Abstract-Introduction. The foods known to be used in times of food shortage, the majority of which are fruits, are identified all over the world such as in Australia, in Sudan, in Senegal, in America, in Sahel and in Chad. The work carried out on these fruits often concerns their nutritive values. In Senegal, Maerua pseudopetalosa (Gil & Gil-Ben) De Wolf, a species of the Capparidaceae family, provides consumable fruits to the native populations for the lean period. No scientific study has yet reported the nutritive composition and energy contribution of this species' fruit. Our study evaluated its contribution of nutritive elements. Materials and methods. Mature fruits of M. pseudopetalosa were collected in June 2007 and May 2008 in the neighborhoods of the villages of Kéniéba and Koussane, in the area of Tambacounda in Senegal. The almonds were dried and crushed for the requirements of various samples. Ashes, protein, sugars, fat and mineral elements were determined by standardized traditional methods of analysis. Results and discussions. Our results show that the fruit of M. pseudopetalosa is rich in iron (26.8-45.9 mg•kg-1), potassium (1098-1342 mg•kg-1) and protein (19.26-22.06%). However, the amino acid profile testifies to the poor nutritional quality of its protein. Conclusion. Our analysis shows that, despite everything, the M. pseudopetalosa fruit constitutes an excellent source of nutrients and can validly make up certain deficiencies, especially in periods of food shortage.

Résumé-Introduction. Les aliments dits de disette, dont la plupart sont des fruits, sont identifiés un peu partout dans le monde tel qu'en Australie au Soudan, au Sénégal, en Amérique, au Sahel et au Tchad. Les travaux réalisés sur ces fruits portent souvent sur leurs valeurs nutritives. Au Sénégal, Maerua pseudopetalosa (Gil & Gil-Ben) De Wolf, espèce de la famille des capparidacées, fournit des fruits consommables aux populations autochtones pendant la période de soudure. Aucune étude scientifique n'a encore fait mention de la composition nutritive et de l'apport énergétique du fruit de cette espèce. Nos travaux ont permis d'évaluer l'apport en éléments nutritifs de son fruit. Matériel et méthodes. Des fruits de M. pseudopetalosa ont été récoltés à maturité au mois de juin 2007 et mai 2008 aux alentours des villages de Kéniéba et de Koussane, dans la région de Tambacounda au Sénégal. Les amandes ont été séchées et broyées pour les besoins des différents dosages. Les cendres, protéine, sucres, matières grasses, et sels minéraux ont été déterminés par des méthodes d'analyse classiques normalisées. Résultats et discussions. Nos résultats ont montré que le fruit de M. pseudopetalosa était riche en fer (26,8-45,9 mg•kg-1...

Maerua pseudopetalosa (Gilg & Gilg-Ben.) DeWolf is a perennial herb or subshrub collected from the wild as a food plant or traditional medicine. Maerua pseudopetalosa occurs naturally from Senegal, east to Eritrea and Ethiopia, through South Sudan, Sudan, East Africa, south to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). This study is aimed at evaluating the chemical properties, biological activities and ethnomedicinal uses of M. pseudopetalosa. Results of the current study are based on data derived from several online databases such as Scopus, Google Scholar, PubMed and Science Direct, and pre-electronic sources such as scientific publications, books, dissertations, book chapters and journal articles. This study revealed that the fruit, leaf and root infusion and/or decoction of M. pseudopetalosa are mainly used as a stimulant and to restore physical strength and vitality, and traditional medicine for chest pains, breast cancer and cough. Phytochemical compounds identified from aerial parts, fruits, roots, seeds and tubers of M. pseudopetalosa include quaternary ammonium compounds, alkaloids, amino acids, betaines, cardiac glycosides, fatty acids, essential oils, flavonoids, phenolics, sterols and tannins. Preliminary ethnopharmacological research revealed that aerial parts, roots and tubers of M. pseudopetalosa have antibacterial, antifungal, antihyperglycemic, antioxidant, α-glucosidase inhibitory, pancreatic lipase inhibitory and cytotoxicity activities. Maerua pseudopetalosa should be subjected to detailed phytochemical, pharmacological and toxicological evaluations aimed at correlating its medicinal uses with its phytochemistry and pharmacological properties.
