“…This finding shows that the fat content of freeze dried seed was higher than the fresh seed. The 4.72 % of fat content in freeze dried seed of wonderful kola reported in this study is higher than the 1.10 % reported by Okere and Ladeji [39] , 2.30 % reported by Ibrahim and Fagbohun [42] and 2.01 % reported by Malomo et al [43] respectively.…”

“…This finding shows that the ash content of freeze dried seed was higher than the fresh seed. The 7.29 % of ash content of freeze dried seed of wonderful kola reported in this study is higher than the 5.20 % reported by Okere and Ladeji [39] , 6.60 % reported by Ibrahim and Fagbohun [42] , 3.69 % reported by Malomo et al [43] . Similarly, the Fat content (%) of fresh and freeze-dried seeds of Wonderful kola reported in this study was 3.20±0.39 and 4.72±0.29 respectively.…”

Plants contain nutrient and phytochemicals, which serve as food and medicine to promote good nutritional and health wellbeing in human. Buchholzia coriacea is a perennial plant, and its seeds contain nutrient and medicinal properties. The present study, therefore, aimed at determining the proximate, mineral and antioxidant activity of fresh and freeze dried seed of Buchholzia coriacea. The Buchholzia coriacea seeds were processed as fresh and freeze dried using aqueous, ethanol and acetone extracts. The flour samples were analyzed for proximate, mineral and antioxidant activity using standard methods. From the results obtained in Mean ± SE, the moisture content (%) of fresh and freeze-dried seeds of Wonderful kola was 66.14±1.84 and 7.68±0.74, the Fat content (%) was 3.20±0.39 and 4.72±0.29, the Crude fiber content (%) was 7.09±0.08 and 5.63±0.28, the Crude Protein content (%) was 3.27±0.17 and 5.42±0.30, the Ash content (%) was 5.22±0.07 and 7.29±0.11, and the Carbohydrate content (%) was 15.08±0.90 and 69.26±1.15 respectively. The Sodium (Na) content of fresh seed and freeze dried seed was 10.46±6.01 and 14.80±0.50, Potassium (K) was 24.43±7.63 and 40.59±9.29, Calcium (Ca) was 7.56±0.98 and 12.33±0.60, Magnesium (Mg) was 2.68±1.41 and 8.24±0.58, Manganese (Mn) was 0.05±0.01 and 0.08±0.02, Iron (Fe) was 0.64±0.11 and 0.49±0.04, Copper (Cu) was 0.44±0.05 and 0.27±0.04, Zinc (Zn) was 0.44±0.04 and 0.50±0.13, Nickel (Ni) was 0.01±0.0 and 0.02±0.0, Cadmium (Cd) was 0.01±0.00 and 0.15±0.11, and Na/K was 0.43 and 0.36 respectively. Lead (Pb) was below detection limit in fresh seed, but was 0.02±0.01 in freeze dried seeds. All the extracts displayed high antioxidant activity and high value of free scavenging ability in all the solvents used. However, ethanolic extracts showed higher antioxidant activity compared to other solvents. The study concluded that the moisture content, fat, crude protein, ash and carbohydrate in freeze dried seed of Bulchholzia coriacea was higher compared to fresh seed. Comparatively, freeze dried seed had the highest values in Na, K, Ca, Mg, Mn, Zn, Ni and Cd than fresh seed samples. The proximate, mineral and antioxidant activity of wonderful kola seed was higher in freeze dried seed in comparison with the fresh seed.

The chemical constituents of different types of kolas are beginning to gain attention as a natural feed additive because of safety risks, residues, and consumer dissatisfaction associated with the use of synthetic products. This review explores a diverse array of literature on the use of kola nut, bitter kola, and wonderful kola as feed additives from different sources such as Springer, PubMed, Scopus, Crossref, Google Scholar, Research Gate, and Index Copernicus Journals. The chemical composition of kola nut, bitter kola, and wonderful kola showed that they contained carbohydrate, ash, crude fiber, ether extract, crude protein, tannin, saponin, phytic acid, phenol, trypsin inhibitor, sterol, steroids, flavonoid, alkaloid, oxalate, caffeine, hydrogen cyanide, and vitamins in different proportions. These bioactive compounds gave the kolas phytogenic potentials as feed additives. The use of these kolas influenced growth response, especially weight gain and fed conversion ratio, nutrient digestibility, hematological parameters, serum biochemistry, antioxidant capacity, carcass weight, egg production, and spermatogenesis in broilers, layers, rabbits, and pigs differently. There is a dearth of information on the use of kola nut seed or pod in layers and pigs; bitter kola seed in pigs and wonderful kola seed in poultry and rabbits. More effort is still needed to determine the appropriate inclusion levels and fully elucidate their mode of action.
