“…The obtained results in ARPC, SEPC and SFPC are higher than those reported in other studies conducted by [15,58,69] respectively. In terms of abundant sterol (β-sitosterol), ALPC oil is similar to Ziziphus lotus almonds (71.99 ± 0.82%) [19] and to almond germplasm (72.4-73.9%) [73]. The study of [74] founded also -sitosterol as a major sterols identi ed in NIPC oil.…”

Purpose : The oil industry generates substantial quantities of oilcake. These residues are traditionally used in many domains for multiple purposes. In order to explore other potential uses of these by-products, a comprehensive physicochemical characterisation was conducted. Methods : The analysis encompassed various parameters, including mineral profiling, protein content, fiber content, fatty acid composition, sterol content, total polyphenol, total flavonoid content, and antioxidant activity in argan, almond, sesame, nigella, sunflower, and soybean press cake. Results : Results indicated that potassium (K), phosphorus (P), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), and sodium (Na) constituted the primary mineral elements in the studied oilcake. Regarding protein content, argan and soybean press cakes contained the highest level of 45.90±0.10 and 44.85±1.10 g/100g, respectively, while nigella and sunflower press cakes had the lowest protein content of 25.62±1.99 and 26.43±2.06 g/100g, respectively. The fatty acid composition revealed that the residual oils extracted could present beneficial properties, as they are rich in unsaturated fatty acids. Nigella press cake oil has a high oleic acid content (67.65%), while Sunflower press cake oil is richest in linoleic acid (54.17%). Sunflower press cake outperformed in total phenolic and flavonoid content, with registered values of 9.82 mg GAE/g and 15.44 mg QE/g, respectively. Additionally, sunflower press cake demonstrated the highest DPPH and FRAP antioxidant activity, and the values were 34.05 and 8.90 mg AAE/g, respectively. Conclusion : The findings suggest that oilcake could be considered as a rich nutrient source and their extracts exhibit substantial potential for added value, warranting focused attention in future research and development.

“…These values were close and lower than the values reported for other MAPs (35.01–54.38 mg GAE/g dm) [ 24 ], but higher than those of the residues of Ziziphus lotus (L.) Lam. almonds (5.13–10.33 mg GAE/g dm) [ 31 ]. In addition, the starch grains observed in the SEM images and lower fibre contents in the rhizome, shoot, finger, slice, and trunk are related to the higher TPC than that observed in the root and rootlet.…”

The objective of the study was to evaluate the nutritional, mineral, and phytochemical analyses of some selected wild edible plants from Tach Gaint District, Northwest Ethiopia. Proximate composition parameters (moisture, ash, crude fibre, crude fat, crude protein, carbohydrate, and energy) were evaluated using the methods of the Association of Official Analytical Chemists, and elemental analysis was performed using the atomic absorption spectroscopy technique. Results from the nutritional analysis show that Erucastrum abyssinicum leaves had the highest crude protein content (17.47 ± 0.03 g/100 g), followed by Amaranthus graecizans (14.97 ± 0.03 g/100 g). The maximum moisture content (40.8 ± 0.00 g/100 g) and ash content (24.70 ± 0.15 g/100 g) were reported in the leaves of Amaranthus graecizans. The young shoots of Rumex abyssinicus had the highest crude fat content (14.07 ± 0.03 g/100 g) and the highest fibre content (34.70 ± 0.25 g/100 g), while the fruits of Opuntia ficus-indica had the highest amount of utilisable carbohydrate (44.4 ± 0.00 g/100 g) and the estimated energy value (326.4 ± 0.00 Kcal/100 g). Calcium was detected in considerable proportions (754.9 ± 0.23 mg/100 g) followed by iron (31.63 ± 0.03 mg/100 g) in Urtica simensis leaves and zinc content (3.09 ± 0.02 mg/100 g) in young shoots of Rumex abyssinicus. Qualitative phytochemical screening, alkaloids, phenols, flavonoids, triterpenes, saponins, and tannins were found in the methanolic extract of the plants. The results of this study suggest that the consumption of such nutrient-rich wild edible plants could help add a remarkable amount of nutrient and mineral in the human diet.
