Adansonia digitata L. leaves are used as vegetables in some parts of Africa. However, the not available all-year-round, so they usually harvested, dried, and stored. In this research, effect storage on nutritional components was studied. Proximate constituents, antinutrients, vitamins minerals were determined using appropriate methods at week 0 (immediately after preparation sample) 4 (after st...

The present study was conducted to determine the influence of cooking methods on nutritional potential Telfairia occidentalis leaves. Standard were used for analysis nutrient and anti-nutrient contents. analyses carried out in triplicate results showed that raw T. leaves contain interesting levels crude fibre (25.3 g), carbohydrates (24.3 protein (24 fat (8.2 g) ash (8.3 g). descending order mi...

Seven commercial brands of malt drinks were analyzed for reducing sugar, protein, minerals, vitamins A, vitamin C, oxalate, phytate and hydrogen cyanide. The malt drinks were found to contain substantial amounts of reducing sugar ranging from 603.66 to 943.45 mg/dl. Vitamins A and C were present in adequate amounts with respect to RDA requirements, whereas, low values were found for protein, ir...

The present study in a two-year experiment investigated the influence of drought and sowing time on protein composition, antinutrients, and mineral contents of wheat whole meal of two genotypes differing in their water requirements. Different thermal conditions prevailing during the grain filling period under different sowing time generated a large effect on the amount of total soluble proteins...

A growing world population as well the need to enhance sustainability and health create challenges for crop breeding. To address these challenges, not only quantitative but also qualitative improvements are needed, especially regarding macro- micronutrient composition content. In this review, we describe different examples of how nutritional quality crops bioavailability individual nutrients ca...
