Chemical composition, physicochemical parameters and nutritional value of Lannea velutina A. Rich (Anacardiaceae) seed and seed oil

A study on Lannea velutina seeds was carried out to establish their chemical compositions. Proximate composition, physicochemical parameters, fatty acids, tocopherols, minerals, amino acids, simple sugars, phytates, fibers and polyphenols of seed kernel and seed oils were evaluated using the pre-established methods. The oil content was 57.3%. Oleic acid (43.9%), palmitic acid (34.9%) and linoleic acid (12.7%) were the...
