“…Apart from its use for cooking, shea oil 1 is also used as an illuminant, in soap making, as a hair and skin lotion, and as a medicine (Boffa 1999;Hall et al 1996;Maranz et al 2004). Shea butter can be used as a nasal decongestant (Tella 1979) and is a common component of commercial skin moisturisers (Kraft and Lynde 2005). Shea oil is used for the treatment of wounds (Abbiw 1990;Maranz et al 2003) and to facilitate child birth (Moore 2008).…”

Traditional practices are universally recognised as a basis for conservation of biodiversity. However, such practices are often not included in natural resource conservation policies. This study assessed local conservation practices of shea trees (Vitellaria paradoxa) within different farming systems in Uganda and developed conservation guidelines for the species. The assessment involved 300 respondents, 15 focus groups and 41 key informants. Content analysis was used to identify the most important management and conservation practices. Local uses were categorised on the basis of shea tree products while differences in conservation practices were analysed using the Friedman test. The results show that eight shea tree products are used for 36 different purposes. Respondents' age significantly influenced their knowledge about the shea tree. Traditional conservation practices include on-farm retention during cultivation and the use of folklore (mainly Readers should send their comments on this paper to BhaskarNath@aol.com within 3 months of publication of this issue. taboos), customs and rituals. Traditional management practices include weeding, bush burning, pollarding and pruning. Based on the current management and traditional conservation practices, a framework for the conservation of shea trees is proposed for integration into conservation policy decisions.

In effort of raising the market opportunities and values of shea butter, this work seeks to investigate the effect of storage time and condition of storage on the properties of shea butter. This involves the extraction of butter from shea nut, storing at room temperatures and temperature of refrigerator. The shea butter stored were characterized for the iodine value, peroxide value, saponification value and free fatty acid value. The storage was done for the period of eight months and the characterization done monthly. The effect of temperature on the shea butter in respect of iodine value is that the value increases from 4.31 mg/kg to 6.16 mg/kg when stored at room temperatures, while it reduces from 4.3 mg/kg to 3.41 mg/kg when stored in refrigerator. The peroxide value of the shea butter increases at both storage conditions: from 8.80 mg/kg to 10.81 meq/kg for room temperatures, while from 8.80 mg/kg to 9.02 mg/kg for storage in the refrigerator. The saponification value for storage in room temperatures increases from 185.00 mg/kg to 185.96 mg/kg, while for the storage in refrigerator decreases from 185.00 mg/kg to 184.00 mg/kg. The FFA value increases from 3.10 to 4.32 under room temperatures, while it reduces from 3.10 to 3.06 under refrigerator. The result therefore indicate that shea butter can both be stored at room temperature and in a refrigerator but when compared to their storage effect, refrigerated shea butter will last longer.
