Nutritional potentials of Cucumeropsis edulis (Hook. f.) Cogn seeds and the pulp of Adansonia digitata L. from Burkina Faso: Determination of chemical composition and functional properties.

---

Résumé

Cucumeropsis edulis seeds from six small markets of Ouagadougou and six samples of Adansonia
digitata pulp products from two towns (Bobo and Ouagadougou) were subjected to chemical composition and
functional properties analyses. The proximate content of Cucumeropsis edulis seeds included moisture (varies
from 3.81 to 4.76% of fresh matter), total ash (varies from 3.26 to 4.05%), carbohydrates (varies from 14.08 to
16.43% of fresh matter), proteins (varies from 27.02 to 27.66% of fresh matter), crude fat (from 44.8 to 51.1%
of fresh matter). The result show good nutritional composition of Cucumeropsis edulis seeds. The proximate
content of Adansonia digitata pulp products moisture (varies from 6.81 to 10.32% of solid product), total ash
(varies from 1.21 to 4.80% of solid product), carbohydrates (varies from 11.40 to 13.62% of fresh matter),
proteins (varies from 0.26 to 1.06 % of solid product), fat (from to 0.40% to 0.94% of fresh matter), Vitamin
C (varies from 43 mg/100 g to 1340 mg/100 g of the product), Acidity (varies from 0.68 g/100 ml to 3.35 g/100
ml).
