Study of the Nutritional Quality and Therapeutic Virtues of Cassava Leaves Infected by the Mosaic Virus and Healthy in Central African Republic

Research Problem: Cassava leaves play an important role in the diet of Central African population. Several studies have investigate composition nutrients cassava but only few study focused on impact mosaic virus disease, main threat production sub-Saharan Africa, nutritional value infected leaves. The objective this work is to determine content and anti-nutritional compounds by healthy leaves.
 Material Methods: was performed two varieties that are M66033 (susceptible be virus) Togo or TMS66 (resistant planted locality Bangui, Capital Republic. were collected 3 months after planting, separated according severity symptoms (0 5) kept at 4°C a fridge. Biochemical analyses for determination fiber, protein, lipid carbohydrate contents as well antioxidant contents.
 Result: results showed that, dietary fiber 44% leaves, it decreases from 42% 26% with virus. Protein 4% leaf samples 3% Lipid 7% 2% mosaic-infected 5% 59% 43% polyphenol 30 mgeq GA/ g 28 Flavonoid 6 10-2 Q/ 0.510-2 symptom. Tannin 0 cat/ 210-2 defense mechanism developed plants has effect synthesis biochemical compounds, fibers, proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, polyphenols, Flavonoids tannins. These suggest excellent food consumer health.
