Abstract:
The study sought to assess the impact of unfermented and fermented Afzelia africana seed flour on alloxan-induced diabetic rats on their triglyceride and cholesterol levels. 50 rats were involved in this research, and they were placed in five groups, ten rats per group. One group was kept normal, and four groups were made diabetic by injecting a freshly prepared 5% aqueous solution of alloxan monohydrate, given in a single dose of 130 to 170 mg/kg body weight. The composition of the experimental diet was formulated on the basis of 10g dietary fiber obtained from the seeds. Lipid profile levels

Abstract:
Afzelia africana and Newbouldia laevis have recognizable potential as important locally available forage resources but yet to be explored and exploited for ruminants in the tropics. This study was therefore investigated to determine the effect of supplementing varying ratios of Afzelia africana and Newbouldia laevis with Panicum maximum on growth performance and nitrogen utilization of West African dwarf goats. Twenty female West African dwarf goats, aged between 5 and 7monhs old with an average weight of 6.62 ± 0.41kg were randomly allotted to five dietary treatments with four goats per treat

Abstract:
Afzelia Africana (African mahogany), commonly known as African oak, is a tropical African tree. It is valued for its high-grade timber but has good potential to provide fodder for livestock and food. The objective of this work there is to conduct a preliminary assessment on the effects of organic manure on early growth performance of African mahogany (Afzelia africana Sm. ex Pers.) Seedlings in Tertiary Institutional Forestry Nursery, Makurdi, Nigeria using standard methods. Data collection on seedling height, collar diameter, number of leaves and leaf length were measured at biweekly for elev

Abstract:
Mohagany bean seed (Afzelia africana) locally known as “akparata” in Nigeria among the Igbos is a food thickening agent with some nutritional values. However, the availability of these nutrients is dependent on the processing method used on the seeds. Fermentation as one of the methods of processing was used in the processing of Afzelia africana seeds. The seeds were bought, sorted and roasted for 20 – 25 minutes on gas cooker at 145oC. Then dehulled, cracked into smaller pieces and divided into four portions. One portion was not soaked while three others were fermented for 24hrs, 48hrs and 72

Abstract:
Benue State is endowed with numerous varieties of useful plants whose fruits, seeds, roots, stems and leaves serve important roles in nutrition but unfortunately many of these plants have not been put to maximum use. The neglect of these forest food plants is attributed to inadequate information on their nutritional potential to serve as food. The broad objective of the study was to examine the nutritional composition of Vitellaria paradoxa fruits, Cissus populnea stem, Afzelia africana seeds, Parkia biglobosa seeds and Prosopis africana seeds.

Abstract:
The effects of fermentation on proximate and anti-nutrient compositions of Afzelia africana seed were investigated. Two methods of fermentation were employed; the traditional fermentation (TF) and gut-filtrate treated fermentation (GFTF). Anti-nutrients tested for were; alkaloids, phytate, tannins, saponins and flavonoids. All proximate contents varied significantly (P<0.05), except for ash. Afzelia africana fermented with cow gut filtrate poised the highest protein (19.35%), ash (4.20%) and lipid (32.13%) contents.

Les huiles végétales non conventionnelles constituent une ressource potentielle et prometteuse utilisable dans la production des biodiesels, en raison de leurs coûts et de leurs faibles impacts environnementaux. Ainsi, cette étude porte sur la production et la caractérisation de biodiesels éthyliques ainsi que de leurs mélanges avec le diesel fossile en vue de leurs usages dans les moteurs. Pour ce faire, les huiles végétales non conventionnelles issues de trois espèces oléagineuses à savoir Ceiba pentandra (Cp), Afzelia africana (Aa) et Chrysophyllum albidum (Ca) ont été converties en esters
