Mycoflora Associated with Baobab (Adansonia digitata) and their Effect on the Nutritional Composition of the Leaf and Fruit
Journal Title: International journal of Emerging Trends in Science and Technology - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Mycoflora associated with leaf and fruit of Baobab (Adansonia digitata) and their effect on the nutritional composition were investigated. Three different mycoflora were isolated from the leaf they include Aspergilus flavus, Lasiodiplodia theobromae and Cladosporium spp while six mycoflora were isolated from the fruit Aspergillus flavus, A. niger, Lasiodiplodia, theobromae, Cladosporium spp, mucur mucedo and pseudofussicoccum. It was observed that there was a relative decrease in the fat, crude fibre and crude protein content of the infected leaves and fruits while the Ash contents of the infected leaves and fruits were relatively higher. So also there was a decrease in the moisture content of healthy fruit while the moisture content of the healthy leaves was relatively higher compared with the fungal infected ones. A correlation test carried out shows that there was no significant difference P (>0.005) between the moisture, fat and crude protein of infected leaves and the fat and crude fibre of infected fruits and apparently healthy ones, while the ash and crude fibre of leaves and the ash, moisture and crude protein of the fruits indicates a significant difference P (<0.005).
