“…The fat content ranged from 9.88 to 15.85 % with Accession 006 having the highest fat content and accession 001 the lowest. This is higher than the values reported by other authors like [15] (7.71%), [16] (7.05%), [19] (7.35%). Dietary fat increases palatability of food by absorbing and retaining flavours [20] although excess of fat causes Cardiovascular disorders [20].…”

Bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranea (L.) Verdc. ) is grown for food and income in Nigeria. A total of ten landraces of bambara groundnut with varying seed coat and eye colours were collected directly from farmers in Kogi, Niger and Kaduna States of Nigeria and taken to the Biochemistry Laboratory of Kogi State University, Anyigba, for proximate analysis. The results revealed significant differences among evaluated accessions in all the estimated parameters. Moisture content ranged from 11.00 (Accession 007 and 010) to 13.50 % (Accession 003), ash content ranged from 0.08 (Accession 007) to 2.75% (Accession 003), crude fibre content ranged from 2.63 (Accession 003) to 6.30 % (Accession 007), total fat content ranged from 9.88 (Accession 001) to 15.85% (Accession 006), crude protein content ranged from 12.47 (Accession 007) to 24.61% (Accession 010) and available carbohydrates ranged from 42.17 (Accession 010) to 56.66 % (Accession 001) . The result of this research reveals that the nutritional composition of bambara groundnut falls within Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) standards and therefore are an excellent source of protein, lipid, carbohydrate and mineral elements. The crop will help to alleviate the problem of malnutrition and contribute to food security in Nigeria, particularly among the poor rural families who cannot afford expensive animal protein.

African yam bean (AYB) (Sphenostylis stenocarpa (Hochst ex. A. Rich.) harms) an underutilized legume that produces nutritionally healthy seeds and tubers in some variety. The low yield of the crop is attributed to production constraints such as attacks by pest and disease-causing organisms such as fungi, bacteria and viruses. In this study, one hundred AYB accessions were evaluated for resistance to viral infection. The AYB accessions were planted using a randomized complete block design on the experimental field at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) Ibadan, Nigeria. Viral disease severity was assessed at 10, 12, 14, 16 and 18 weeks after planting (WAP) based on disease symptoms using disease severity index on visual scale of 1–5. Antigen–coated plate enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction were used to index diseased leaf samples collected from the field. Result from five virus species (Cowpea mild mottle virus, Cowpea mottle virus, Southern bean mosaic virus, Cowpea mosaic virus and Bean common mosaic virus) were detected in few accessions while mixed infections were observed in some accessions. TSs-552, TSs-577, TSs-580, TSs-560 and TSs-600 were devoid of viruses and could be resistant. There were no significant differences at p < 0.05 in the mean disease incidence (DI) of viral diseases. However, at 18 weeks after planting, TSs-604 had the highest (100%) mean DI while TSs-584 had the lowest (13.33%) mean DI. Cluster analysis based on the AUDPC produced 6 main clusters, the clusters revealed grouping patterns in which AYB lines with similar resistance ratings were shown to form unique clusters. The information generated from this study will contribute to the development of strategies in the management of virus diseases infecting AYB.

“…The proximate composition analysis was carried out to assess the percentage crude fat, crude fibre, crude protein, ash, dry matter, moisture, calorific value and carbohydrate present in Pleurotus ostreatus according to the method described by AOAC ( 18 ), and Chinedu and Nwinyi ( 19 ).…”

There is a huge gap between food production and the exploding population demands in various parts of the world, especially developing countries. This increases the chances of malnutrition, leading to increased disease incidence and the need for functional foods to reduce mortality. Pleurotus ostreatus are edible mushrooms that are cheaply sourced and rich in nutrient with the potential to be harnessed toward addressing the present and future food crisis while serving as functional foods for disease prevention and treatment. This study evaluated the nutritional, proximate, vitamins and amino acids contents of Pleurotus ostreatus. The proximate composition of Pleurotus ostreatus in this study revealed that it contains 43.42% carbohydrate, 23.63% crude fiber, 17.06% crude protein, 8.22% ash, 1.21% lipid and a moisture content of 91.01 and 6.46% for fresh and dry samples of Pleurotus ostreatus, respectively. The monosaccharide and disaccharide profile of Pleurotus ostreatus revealed the presence of glucose (55.08 g/100 g), xylose (7.19 g/100 g), fructose (19.70 g/100 g), galactose (17.47 g/100 g), trehalose (7.37 g/100 g), chitobiose (11.79 g/100 g), maltose (29.21 g/100 g), sucrose (51.60 g/100 g) and lower amounts of cellobiose (0.01 g/100 g), erythrose (0.48 g/100 g) and other unidentified sugars. Potassium, Iron and Magnesium were the highest minerals present with 12.25 mg, 9.66 mg and 7.00 mg amounts, respectively. The vitamin profile revealed the presence of vitamin A (2.93 IU/100 g), C (16.46 mg/100 g), E (21.50 mg/100 g) and B vitamins with vitamin B2 having the highest concentration of 92.97 mg/kg. The amino acid scores showed that Pleurotus ostreatus had more non-essential amino acids (564.17 mg/100 g) than essential amino acids (67.83 mg/100 g) with a ratio of 0.11. Lysine (23.18 mg/100 g) was the highest essential amino acid while aspartic acid (492.12 mg/kg) was the highest non-essential amino acid present in Pleurotus ostreatus. It had a higher concentration of acidic amino acids, 492.12 mg/100 g (77.87%), followed by neutral amino acids, 106.66 mg/100 g (16.88%) and least were the basic amino acids, 23.18 mg/100 g (3.67%). Based on the nutritional assessment of the Pleurotus ostreatus analyzed in this study, it can be concluded that it can serve as an important functional food source that can be exploited to meet the increasing food demands and reduce micronutrient deficiencies in many parts of the world, especially developing countries.
