“…The proximate composition of tiger nut compared to other tubers is presented in Table 1. The moisture content is lower than the moisture contents reported for true tubers such potato (Lombardo and others 2012; Murniece and others 2011), yam (Abara 2011), Jerusalem artichoke (Barta and Pátkai 2007), yacon (Scher and others 2009; Ojansivu and others 2011), sweet potato (Olayiwola and others 2009; Lai and others 2011), and cassava (Maieves and others 2012). Coşkuner and others (2002) have reported that tiger nut loses a considerable amount of water during drying and storage.…”

“…The two plants contain high content of calcium which is necessary for bone and teeth development. Olayiwola et al (2009) reported that calcium is also helpful in the formation of blood, intracellular and extra cellular fluids within and outside the cell of the body.…”

The need to boost livestock production in Nigeria calls for a provision of feed that is adequate in both quality and quantity as well as accessible to animals all year round. The quest to assess and exploit plants for their potentials in feeding livestock animals all year round necessitated this study. The phytochemical and nutritional composition of the leaves of Bambusa vulgaris and Artocarpus altilis were assayed. Phytochemical screening of the two plant leaves revealed the presence of alkaloids, saponins, flavonoids and tannins. Terpenoids and steroids were absent in the two plants. Further phytochemical quantifications revealed B. vulgaris and A. altilis leaves contained alkaloids (10.64% and 14.80%), saponins (2.33 and 3.90%), flavonoids (4.60 and 3.70%), tannins (0.67 and 1.89 mg/100g) and phenol (0.23 and 1.89 mg/100 g) respectively. The proximate analyses revealed low moisture content (12.27% and 14.88%), crude protein (2.84 and 2.15%), moderate crude fat (6.00 and 6.91%) and high crude fiber (16.96 and 9.96%), ash (11.82 and 15.92%) and carbohydrate (50.12 and 50.19%) respectively. The leaves were equally rich in Ca, K, P, Mg with low Na. Similarly, the results show that leaves of the two plants investigated could provide dietary and medicinal needs of livestock.

“…Mais, entre les éléments organiques et les éléments minéraux, il n'y a pas une corrélation. S'agissant des cendres totales, les teneurs ont varié de 3 à 6,57% chez les variétés et ces résultats sont proches de celui obtenu par Olayiwola et al (2009) qui est de 8,83%. Dans le présent travail, les teneurs en sels minéraux et cendres ont été importantes chez la variété BF 140.…”

RESUMECette étude a été réalisée dans le but d'évaluer les paramètres biochimiques des tubercules de dix (10) variétés de patate douce Ipomea batatas (L.) Lam. Des analyses réalisées au laboratoire ont permis de déterminer les teneurs en sucres, en protéines, en vitamine A, en sels minéraux et en cendres. Des résultats, il ressort que la variété Jewel qui enregistre 25,02% de sucres totaux, 9,62% de sucres réducteurs et 854,25 µg/g de β carotène est plus riche en sucres. La variété BF 13 se distingue des autres par une teneur plus élevée en protéine soit environ 2,54%. Par contre, la variété BF 140 a montré une teneur en calcium (266,75 mg /100 g), en fer (44,74 mg/100 g), en zinc (2,31 mg/100 g) et en cendres (6,57%) plus importante comparativement aux autres variétés. La variété BF 40 a une teneur plus élevée en phosphore (286,75 mg/100 g). Cependant, la variété BF 142 a la plus forte teneur en potassium soit 2341,50 mg/100 g.
