dc.description.abstractThe seeds of Moringa oleifera Lam (family: Moringaceae), Detarium microcarpum (family: Caesalpiniodeae) and Bauhinia monandra (family Caesalpiniaceae) were analyzed for mineral elements, nutritional and anti-nutritional contents, and the chemical properties of their oils determined. The concentrations (ppm) of the essential elements potassium, calcium, magnesium sodium, sulphur, phosphorus and iron ranged between 77400-1190 ppm for M. oliefera, 105000-220 ppm for D. microcarpum, and 77900-1594.33 ppm for B. monandra. The concentrations (ppm) of the essential trace elements – iodine, copper, manganese, chromium molybdenum, selenium and zinc also ranged between 3930-11.10., 2780-35.20 and 4150.00-11.4 (ppm) for M. oleifera, D. microcarpum and B. monandra respectively. The non-essential elements (arsenic, lead, tin, nickel, bromine, vanadium, cobalt, thallium and niobium have concentrations ranging between 1100.0-108, 1960-17.4, 1690-10.70 ppm. for M. oleifera, D. microcarpum and B. monandra respectively. The protein and lipid contents were highest in Moringa oleifera (40.19 and 41.58% respectively). D. microcarpum contained 35.94 and 11.24% protein and lipid content respectively. Carbohydrate was highest in D. microcarpum (42.20%) followed by B. monandra (21.40%) and Moringa oleifera 9.11%. Bauhinia monandra contained the highest content of phytate (11.57mg/100g) followed by Moringa oleifera 10.18(mg/100g), while Detarium microcarpum had 5.25mg/100g. The hydrogen cyanide content in the seeds were (0.58, 0.25, 0.32 mg /100 g) for M. oleifera, D. macrocarpum and B. monandra respectively. The tannin and Saponins content in Bauhinia monandra were 6.0 and 2.05%; Detarium microcarpum had 4.75 and 0.20% while Moringa oleifera had 2.13 and 2.25% respectively. The iodine value of the oils of M. oleifera, D. microcarpum and B. monandra were 59.48, 58.02 and 56.60 respectively. Saponification value of M. oleifera, D. microcarpum and B. monandra oils were 197.57, 220.66 and 196.12 g / KOH respectively. The acid value, free fatty acid and peroxide value were low (less than 9.0). The ester values of the oils were 173.15, 212.54 and 189.35 for M. oleifera, D. microcarpum and B. monandra respectively. The essential amino acids (lysine, phenyalanine leucine, isoleucine, methionine, valine, cystine and threonine content ranged from 5.74-1.0, 2.58-0.75, 3.77-1.11 (g/100g protein) for M. oleifera, D. microcarpum and B. monandra respectively. The non-essential amino acid were in various concentrations ranged from 14.43-2.09, 9.78-1.06, 11.75-2.36 (g/100g protein) for M. oleifera, D. microcarpum and B. monandra respectively. The high elemental, proteins, lipids, carbohydrates and amino acids composition of the seeds suggest that they could serve as supplementary sources of nutrients to man and livestock, provided the anti-nutritional content of the seeds are reduced or eliminated by further processing.en_US
