Evaluation of the nutritional potentials of fermented oil bean seed pentaclethra macrophyllah benth
Journal Title: Agricultural Advances - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 7
Abstract
The seeds of fermented African oil bean seed,Pentaclethra macrophylla Benth were analyzed for mineral elements, nutritionaland anti-nutritional contents. The concentrations (mg/100g) of fermentedAfrican oil bean seed for 4days, 7days and 14days with regards to calcium,magnesium, potassium, sodium and phosphorus were 28.2mg/100g, 26.12mg/100g,28.04mg/100g; 126.14mg/100g, 160.1mg/100g, 180.2mg/100g; 210.40mg/100g,216.60mg/100g, 218.40mg/100g; 12.42mg/100g, 14.16mg/100g, 16.12mg/100g and210.04mg/100g, 216.10mg/100g; 216.12mg/100g respectively. The percentagecomposition of protein, lipids, carbohydrates, Ash and fibre of the gradedlevels of fermented African oil bean seed (Pentaclethra macrophylla Benth)after 4days, 7days and 14days duration of fermentation were 31.95%, 38.38%,39.04%; 35.00%, 38.20%, 42.40%; 28.31%, 20.75%, 15.97%; 1.08%, 1.19%, 1.33% and3.66%, 1.48%, 1.26% respectively. The concentration of fermented oil bean seedfor 4days, 7days and 14days with regards to anti-nutritional factors, phytate,tannins, hydrogencyanide (HCN) and oxalate were 0.04mg/100g, 0.02mg/100g,0.01mg/100g; 0.042mg/100g, 0.004mg/100g, 0.002mg/100g; 0.02mg/100g,0.04mg/100g, 0.008mg/100g and 0.12mg/100g, 0.11mg/100g, 0.10mg/100grespectively. The African oil bean seeds could serve as supplementary source ofessential nutrients for man and his livestock provided the anti-nutrientsinherent in the seeds are adequately detoxified to the bearest minimum levels.
