Irvingia (bush mango) species are economically important trees, but studies aimed at their prospect for domestication did not take into account the potential differences between members of the Genus. Hence fruit size, postharvest pathology and phytochemicals of I. gabonensis and I. wombolu were studied. Results showed that whilst the mean weight, length, width and thickness of fruits of I. gabonensis were 125.08g, 60.85mm, 62.66mm and 56.78mm, respectively, those obtained from I. wombolu were 86.08g, 54.23mm, 54.09mm and 50.97mm, respectively. Difference in brownish-black rot fruit disease between the two Irvingia species was not significant (P=0.05), but disease severity increased correspondingly with increase in storage days. Four genera of fungi (Aspergillus, Penicillium, Rhizopus and Mucor) were isolated from fruits of both Irvingia species, and I. wombolu was found to sustain a significantly lower fungal population (7.76E+07 cfu) than I. gabonensis (1.05E+08 cfu). High fungal population led to a correspondingly high severity of brownish-black rot disease. Fruits of both Irvingia species possessed all five phytochemicals (alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, tannins and glucosides). However, whilst both species had the same amounts of flavonoids and glycosides, I. wombolu possessed relatively higher amounts of alkaloids, saponins and tannins than I. gabonensis. I. wombolu may be the preferred choice if domestication would be based on phytochemicals. In like manner, I. gabonensis may be the preferred choice for domestication if taste, weight and size of fruits were the parameters of interest.

“…One of such plants is Irvingia gabonensis (O'Rorke) Baill. Classified as a non-timber forest tree, Irvingia gabonensis (O'Rorke) Baill is commonly called bush mange or African mango as the trees bear small mango-like fruits (Matos et al 2009). It is a tropical forest tree commonly found in Southern and Eastern Nigeria, Sierra Leone and Equatorial Africa and it is a species from the family Irvingiaceae.…”

Cadmium is a well-known environmental pollutant that has been proven to be nephrotoxic and hepatotoxic in the body. In this study, the effect of ethanolic leaf extract of Irvingia gabonensis (O'Rorke) Baill (IG) against cadmium-induced nephrotoxicity and hepatotoxicity in Wistar albino rats was investigated. 30 female wistar rats of weights between 98-153g were grouped into 6 groups of 5 animals each. Group 1 served as the control and was placed on rat feed and water. Groups 2, 3, and 4 were administered 10mg/Kg body weight (mg/kgbw) of cadmium chloride (CdCl 2 ) only,10mg/Kgbw CdCl 2 and 200mg/kgbw extract, 10mg/Kgbw CdCl 2 and 400mg/kgbw extract, respectively. Groups 5 and 6 were given 200mg/kgbw and 400mg/kgbw of IG extract respectively and the treatments lasted for 28 days. Results obtained revealed significant (p<0.05) increases in the serum levels of all renal and liver function biomarkers in group 2 (CdCl 2 only) as compared with the control. There were however significant (p<0.05) decreases in the serum levels of the assayed parameters when groups 3 and 4 were respectively compared with group 2. It can therefore be concluded that ethanolic leaf extract of Irvingia gabonensis (O'Rorke) Baill enhances the integrity of the kidneys and liver of cadmium-induced wistar albino rats.

“…La composition en acides gras se rapproche des données mentionnées dans la littérature par Womeni et al (2006) (Nzikou et al, 2007). Ces huiles devraient être protégées contre l'oxydation et le rancissement au regard des valeurs relativement faibles obtenues pour les indices de peroxyde qui sont proches des données mentionnées par Matos et al (2009) (1,2 à 1,9 méqO 2 /kg) et inférieures à la limite de 10 méqO 2 /kg.…”
