“…Anti-nutrient analysis showed that hydrocyanic acid, total oxalate, soluble oxalate, phytate and tannins ranged from 1.65-2.62, 14.43-35.72, 4.70-18.50, 0.09-0.83 and 0.12-0.41 mg/100 g dry matters, respectively. When compared with edible vegetables and mushroom previously examined, these were found to be within the same range and lower than world maximum allowable limits in foods [18,25,27,32,33]. Furthermore, all examined anti-nutrients were lower than those reported earlier for Citrus paradis peels [24], test and seeds of Dacryodes eludis and Garcinia kola [32], and as well as pod and seeds of Cola rostada and Cola nitida [34].…”

Bread is widely eaten across the world and the science of its baking has come a long way. This study was aimed at evaluating the effect of using Baker's and palm wine yeasts on the performance and sensory properties of bread baked with bean (Phaseolus vulgaris), corn (Zea mays), golden penny and wheat flours in addition to nutritional analysis of the flours and Baker's yeast. Collection of samples, processing of flours, palm wine yeast isolation, proximate and elemental analyses, and baking of the various breads were done using standard methodologies. Sensory evaluation was performed using Likert scale and replicate readings were analysed using analysis of variance. Baker's yeast had the highest amount of fat, ash and protein but lower than the rest in fiber and carbohydrate content. Amongst the flours examined for proximate composition, bean flours had higher amounts of moisture, ash and fiber, but not carbohydrate and fiber. Vitamins A, total and soluble vitamin C were present in all our sampled flours and Baker's yeast.

“…The D. edulis plant parts were harvested from the North West region of Cameroon where the plant is commonly found in abundance. The leaves, stem/bark combination (stembark), and seeds were prepared based on the methods described by Ebana et al (2017) and Nkukwana (2012) . Fresh, green, and undamaged leaves, stembark, and seeds were air-dried under shade in sunlight.…”

“…Phytochemical screening of the D. edulis fruit, seed, stem bark, resin, and leaves has tested positive for alkaloids, tannins, saponins, cyanogen glycosides, flavonoids, and phytates ( Yelwa et al, 2017 ). Besides, the plant’s extracts and secondary metabolites have been found to exhibit some antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-sickle-cell disease properties (drepanocytes) in treatment of parasitic skin diseases, cough, malaria, mouth infections, tonsillitis and eradication of jiggers ( Ebana et al, 2016 , 2017 ). Studies by Valenzuela-Grijalva et al (2017) showed that the D. edulis seed, leave, stem, and bark also showed antimicrobial properties when used in vitro against resistant strain of Staphylococcus aureus .…”

This study aimed at testing the efficacy and safety of Dacryodes edulis plant parts in diets fed to chicken. The plant has potential for use as a natural prebiotic to substitute the conventionally used antibiotic growth promoters in poultry production. Phytochemical analyses of the plant leaves, stem, and bark combination (stembark) and seed powders from the D. edulis were carried out. The powder from the three D. edulis plant parts were used as supplement in formulating six experimental diets tested in this study. The diets were TL0Ed (0.5% leaves powder), TL1Ed (1.0% leaves powder), TB0Ed (0.5% stembark powder), TB1Ed (1.0% stembark powder), TS0Ed (0.5% seeds powder), and TS1Ed (1.0% seeds powder). Besides, a positive (T+ positive control; 0.5-g oxytetracycline as recommended by the manufacturer) and a negative (T- negative control; having no commercial antibiotic and no plant supplement) diets were prepared for comparison purposes. The diets were fed to a total of 288 dual-purpose chicken for a period of 14 weeks. The chicken growth and body composition characteristics, blood chemistry, and microbiota count were collected and used as indicators of the plant parts efficacy and safety. The analysis of the D. edulis plant parts significantly differed (P ≤ 0.05) in their phytochemical contents. The initial body weight and feed conversion efficiency ratios were not significantly different (P ≥ 0.05) between and among treatment groups. However, significant differences (P ≤ 0.05) were detected in the feed intake and body weight gain at eighth week. Live weight at eighth week was significantly different (P ≤ 0.05) with its values ranging between 503.32 and 614.93 g for treatments TL1Ed and TNeg-, respectively. The dietary treatment of D. edulis leaves, stembark, and seed powder at the two inclusion levels significantly (P ≤ 0.05) decreased the colonies forming unit of Escherichia coli and Salmonella sp. as compared with negative control treatment in the eighth week phase. The level of glucose, total cholesterol, triglycerides, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine amino transferase, alkaline phosphatase, and the packed cell volume did not differ significantly (P ≥ 0.05) between and among dietary D. edulis treatments. The findings from this research provide crucial information on the efficacy and safety of D. edulis plant parts. This is an important step in testing the potential of the plant in use as a prebiotic in chicken feeds production.
