“…From this study, it can be deduced that the amino acid composition is affected by both taro leaf varieties and processing methods, there is limited research results on processed taro leaf amino acid composition and the findings of this study was reviewed with other amino acid composition of yam, cassava and Moringa leaves. As noted by different researchers (Sheela et al, 2004;Ayodele and Olajide, 2011;Busani et al, 2011), the amino acid profile of the present study was potentially enough than yam and cassava leaf. For the present study, the amino acid profiles, suggesting that high values were obtained from taro leaf curd concentrate and had adequate sulphur containing amino acid.…”

The purpose of this study was designed to investigate the amino acid and fatty acid composition of taro leaf and corm samples. An UHPLC and GC-FID method was used for the determination of amino acids and fatty acid composition, respectively. Taro leaf was processed as a powder and pre-curd concentrates while the corm was pre-gelatinized with and without peel prior to the analysis. The amino acid and fatty acid composition (%) of the analyzed samples were quantified with their relative area comparing with respective standards. In the present study, the leaf and corm of taro contained the three essential amino acids leucine, lysine and methionine. For the study, the calculated amino acid values were low in corm samples, but amino acid composition was higher in the leaf samples. Concerning fatty acids, the dominant fatty acid in the leaf and corm was oleic acid (C18:1, n-9) which ranged from 140.697 ± 0.054 to 216.775 ± 0.043 and 101.932 ± 0.023 to 101.950 ± 0. 04 mg/100 g, respectively. In the study, the fatty acid compositions in leaf were higher than the corm. This means that taro leaf would be considered as a good source of essential amino acid and fatty acid than the corm. Finally, from the proportion (mg/100 g) of saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids, the unsaturated fatty acids were the predominant fatty acids observed. The presence of high levels of unsaturated fatty acids in the entire investigation of our study taro is nutritionally rich.

Wild plant species are often excellent sources of micronutrients and have the potential to promote healthy living, yet they are under-exploited. Distribution of micronutrient powders as diet supplements can play an effective role in reducing micronutrient deficiencies among infants and young children. However, assessing their effects in ensuring a nutritious diet at low cost have been limited. This study assessed the impact of including wild plant species and micronutrient powders in modeled optimized lowest-cost diets for women and children in rural Kenya. Market surveys, focus group discussions in six villages and a 24-h dietary intake recall were used to collect data that were subsequently entered in the cost of diet linear programming tool to model lowest-cost nutritious diets for women and children in Turkana County, Kenya. Three wild vegetables, three wild fruits, and micronutrient powder were added to the models to assess their impact on the cost and the nutrient adequacy of the diets. A locally adapted cost optimized nutritious diet without any intervention costs between 50 and 119 Kenyan shillings (KES) daily

“…Due to its adaptability, it is widely used as an ornamental plant and for medicinal purposes, in addition to having high economic value for some regions (Akinfasoye et al, 2008;Singh et al, 2020). This plant has a high content of proteins and vitamins and is a good source of calcium, iron, carbohydrates and phosphorus (Ayodele & Olajide, 2011), however, despite its nutritional popularity in tropical regions, C. argentea is also considered an invasive plant (Council, 2006). Thus, it is distributed irregularly in the areas of agricultural crops, being considered one of the main obstacles in production, since it contributes to the reduction of productivity and loss of product quality, as they compete for sunlight, water, nutrients and space with the cultures (Sausen et al, 2020).…”
