“…Previous studies revealed the presence of tannin only in Securidaca longepedunculata leaves extracts [16,26]. However, tannin is seldom found in Balanites aegyptiaca extract [13,27]. The effective presence of flavonoids and tannins in the hydro ethanolic extracts would partly explain the therapeutic proprieties of Balanites aegyptiaca, Securidaca longepedunculata an Acacia gourmaensis.…”

“…Recent studies revealed that S. longepedunculata hydro ethanolic extract had an important antifungal activity [10,26]. Likewise, Tula, et al [27] reported that leaves of Balanite aegyptiaca aqueous extracts possessed polyphenols, saponins, steroids, and flavonoids. However, flavonoids and tannins were not found with B. aegyptiaca alcoholic extracts [12,33].…”

Aims: Hydroethanolic extracts of Balanites aegyptiaca, Securidaca longepedunculata and Acacia gourmaensis from Burkina Faso were investigated for their phytochemical composition and their antioxidant activities. Methods: Highperformance thinlayer chromatography (HPTLC) method was used for phytochemical screening. The total phenolic, total flavonoid and anthocyanin contents of extracts CJAST, 39(1): 79-87, 2020; Article no.CJAST.54710 80 were assessed. The antioxidant potentials of the extracts were also evaluated using 2,2diphenyl lpicrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP). Results: Phenolic compounds, flavonoids and anthocyanins were present in all these plant extracts. Tannins were only found in Acacia gourmaensis extract. Acacia gourmaensis extract exhibited the highest total phenolics (807.58 ± 28.63 mg GAE/g), total flavonoids (271.39 ± 58.46 mg QE/100 g), total anthocyanins (83.16 ± 0.14 µg/g) contents and had the highest antioxidant activity by DPPH ( 330.84 ± 16.23 µg AAE/g) and FRAP methods (3211.11 ± 52.24 µg AAE/g ). Balanites aegyptiaca and Securidaca longepedunculata showed the lowest phenolic compounds (80.72 ± 2.11 mg GAE/g and 76.69±1.84 mg GAE/g respectively); total flavonoids (88.7 ± 1.65 mg QE/100 g and 104.54 ± 9.65 mg QE/100 g respectively), anthocyanins (24.49±1.43 µg/g and 24.57±0.52 µg/g respectively) contents and had the lowest antioxidant activity for DPPH method ( 46.83 ± 3.01 and 56.20 ± 3.79 µg AAE/g respectively) and FRAP method ( 102.06 ± 5.09 and 57.78 ± 0.99 µg AAE/g respectively). Conclusion: Balanites aegyptiaca, Securidaca longepedunculata and Acacia gourmaensis represent natural sources of phenolic antioxidant compounds that can be used as a biofungicide.

“…In addition to these chemical compounds, bark contains calcium, iron, phosphorus, sulfur, potassium and manganese were found in stem bark (Gupta et al, 2012). The stem bark contains only flavonoids and polyphenols while the other phytochemicals are found in the others parts of the plant (Tula et al, 2014). Triterpenes, steroïds, sesquiterpens and polysaccharides exert their antiphlogistic activity by intervening in immunological reaction mechanisms (Wagner, 1989).…”

“…Traditionally, water is purified either by adding few herbals like Vetiveria zizanioides, Elettaria cardamom, Ocimum sanctum, Strychnos potatorum, Moringa oleifera (Eze and Ananso;Sathish, and Amuthan. 2012;Wadhwa et al, 2013). The bark of B. aegyptiaca is also used in rural milieu to purify freshwater, and every part of the plant is said to have beneficial properties.…”

Bark of Balanites aegyptiaca is used to make well water potable. This study aimed to investigate well water microbiological quality and appreciate antibacterial activity of crude extracts of B. aegyptiaca on bacteria isolated from 60 samples well water. Qualitative chemical analysis of the extract was carried out. Microbiological quality of water well from four health Districts of the city of Lomé were evaluated by broth dilution associated with the spread on agar media method. Antimicrobial activity of bark of B. aegyptiaca was assessed using microdilution method. The results indicated that well water samples analysed were contaminated to varying degrees by the total aerobic flora, fecal coliforms and fecal enterococci. The most important phytoconstituents of the back were saponins, coumarins, triterpenes, tannins and steroids. Flavonoids and polyphenols were absent. B. aegyptiaca inhibited significantly the growth of microorganisms isolated from well water. Using B. aegyptiaca in the disinfection of well water would be linked to its action on the causative organisms and its chemical composition.

The protein contents of heglig fruit shell and flesh parts were determined as 6.31% and 5.44% (w/w), respectively. The total phenol amounts of fruit shell and flesh parts were established as 138.13 mg GAE/100 g and 144.03 mg GAE/100 g, respectively. Kaempferol, quercetin, and resveratrol were the dominant phenolic constituents of heglig fruit parts. While kaempferol contents of fruit shell and flesh parts are identified as 10.30 mg/100 g and 15.83 mg/100 g, quercetin contents of fruit shell and flesh parts were detected as 8.26 and 24.71 mg/100 g, respectively. While K amounts of fruit shell and flesh parts are determined as 7,680.96 and 2,122.23 mg/kg, Ca and Mg contents of fruit shell and flesh parts were measured as 3,543.38 and 2,198.54 mg/kg to 547.88 and 599.58 mg/kg, respectively. Phytochemical investigation of heglig fruits portions showed the presence of some important phytochemical compounds. Mineral results exhibited some fluctuations depending on fruit portions. Practical applications Balanites aegyptiaca fruit is used for food and feed in almost all parts of Africa. Bioactive compounds, antioxidant properties, polyphenols, and minerals of heglig fruit parts were evaluated. B. aegyptiaca (L.), a tree that is more valuable with its fruits and seeds, has a long history of use as a wide‐spread woody plant resource in the African continent. The heglig (laloub) fruit can be eaten as fresh and dried. Heglig's fruits and seeds are widely used in different countries of Africa.
