Valeur nutrition/santé de quelques espèces de Légumineuses alimentaires mineures au Togo

Résumé fourni par la source

A study on some minor Togolese food plants shows that some « local varieties » are potentially rich in some nutritious and healthy substances. Based on a precise methodology, we point out that: - beans of Cajanus cajan local varieties are richer in proteins (206.55 ± 0.03 to 220.17 ± 0.09 mg.g−1) than those of Macrotyloma geocarpum (155.7 ± 0.07 to 172.9 ± 0.18 mg.g−1); the subunits molecular masses are between 1,7 and 83 kDa; - Vigna unguiculata local varieties beans contains more phaseolin (28.46 ± 0.65 mg.g−1) than those of Sphenostylis stenocarpa (4.91 ± 0.21 mg.g-1); - all studied beans concentration in polyphenols varies from 0.79 ± 0,06 to 2.21 ± 0,03 mg.g-1. These new data are useful for a better valorisation of the studied food minor plants.
