“…The crude fiber content in the pulp was lower than 5.4 and 5.5% as reported in Tanzania and Malawi respectively (Ndabikunze et al, 2006;Saka and Msonthi, 1994). However, crude fiber content in kernels was lower than 5.45 and 1.6±0.1% as compared to the values reported in Nigeria by other researchers (Ogungbenle and Atere, 2014;Oladimeji and Bello, 2011). On the other hand, the crude fiber values for the kernels were lower than 3.7±0.3% (Atasie et al, 2009) and 2.91% (Kumar et al, 2013) for raw groundnuts seeds as reported in Nigeria and India respectively.…”

“…The potassium content in pulp was higher than 22.3 (Ndabikunze et al, 2006), 103.68 (Saka and Msonthi, 1994) and 15±1.0% (Benhura et al, 2013) as reported in Tanzania and Zimbabwe. Potassium content in kernels was higher than 459 from a related study in Nigeria (Ogungbenle and Atere, 2014).…”

“…The values for crude fat were 0.9 and 1.5 higher than the values previously reported by other researchers (Ndabikunze et al, 2006;Saka and Msothi, 1994). Interestingly, crude fat values in kernels were high by different values as compared to values reported by other researchers: 1.77 (Ogungbenle and Atere, 2014) and 5.11±0.10% (Oladimeji and Bello, 2011) but lower than 47.00% (Ndabikunze et al, 2006) as reported for studies conducted in Nigeria and Tanzania. Crude fat value of 46.05±0.47 for P. curatellifolia kernel was higher than 39.10% (Kumar et al, 2013) but similar to 47.00±0.03 (Atasie et al, 2009) for groundnuts (Arachis hypogaea) as reported in other studies done in India and Nigeria respectively.…”

“…Pulp iron content was higher than 103.0 (Saka and Msonthi, 1994) but lower than 700±200, 500±100, 800±200 (Benhura et al, 2013) reported in studies conducted in Malawi and Zimbabwe respectively. Iron content in the kernels was high compared to 13.2 obtained in a related study conducted in Nigeria (Ogungbenle and Atere, 2014). Phosphorus content ranged from 370.57±10.47 to 405.23±2.17 for mixture of pulp and peels and kernels respectively.…”

“…Phosphorus content in pulp was higher than 200±0.0 (Benhura et al, 2013) and 339 (Saka and Msonthi, 1994) from other studies conducted in Zimbabwe and Malawi respectively. P. curatellifolia kernels had high phosphorus content compared to 180 (Ndabikunze et al, 2006) and 196 (Ogungbenle and Atere, 2014) obtained from related studies conducted in Tanzania and Nigeria. Furthermore, phosphorus content for the kernels was higher than 340.2 for A. hypogaea as observed in India (Kumar et al, 2013) (Tables 3 and 4).…”

In this study, proximate composition, physical characteristics and mineral content of fruit, pulp and seeds of Parinari curatellifolia (Maula) fruits from Bunda forests in Central Malawi were determined. Proximate composition included crude protein, crude fat and crude fiber, while physical characteristics included mass, length, thickness of whole fruit and kernels and minerals included potassium, magnesium, manganese, copper, zinc, iron and phosphorus. Total carbohydrate contents were also determined. All the results have been presented on dry matter basis. Results on crude protein ranged from 3.9±0.03 to 15.61±0.05% with pulp registering the lowest values (P<0.05) while the highest values were registered in kernels. Results on crude fat revealed that kernels had the highest values (46.05±0.19%) compared to values obtained in pulp or a mixture of pulp and peels while for crude fiber, the highest values (21.39±0.28%) were obtained in whole fruit. Furthermore, results on ash content showed that the highest values (5.71±0.25 %) were obtained in fruit peels while the lowest values (1.58±0.15 %) were registered in whole fruit. Lastly, results on carbohydrate content revealed that the highest values (84.95±0.14%) were obtained in the pulp while the lowest values (34.34±0.21%) were registered in kernels. The findings from this study have shown that there are significant differences in nutrient and mineral composition in the whole fruit, seeds and pulp of P. curatellifolia from Central Malawi and therefore these findings can be useful in nutritional planning regarding consumption of the P. curatellifolia fruit.

Seed oils sourced from West Africa are generally not well-characterized, but likely to have an untapped potential. This review aims to make an overview of fatty acid (FA) composition of unconventional seed oils from semi-arid West African trees and evaluate potential for new and enhanced uses and for improving local livelihoods and biodiversity conservation. A total of 111 studies on FA composition were found, covering 31 species. Only 69 of the studies (62%) were included in the review, as 38% had unreliable or incomplete results. There was a clear link between taxonomic kinship and FA composition. Over 20 potentially interesting and underexploited oils were found, including oils with properties similar to palm oil, olive oil, coconut oil, shea butter, and cotton seed oil. About half of the oils have promising potential for cosmetics. One third of the oils were relatively saturated, indicating properties for structuring food and heat resistance. Most of the species had multiple uses and oil production could be profitable in co-production with other non-timber forest products. Furthermore, establishment of sustainable oil production and domestication of oil trees could promote biodiversity conservation. Enhanced oil production in semi-arid West Africa is promising, but several practical constraints remain to be overcome.
