Abstract:
Background: Blighia sapida, commonly called Ackee, is a tree species belonging to the Sapindaceae family and native to West Africa. Indigenous knowledge claims that different parts of this plant, such as seeds, leaves, stem bark, root, and fruit aril, have therapeutic properties, and empirical scientific studies have also confirmed some of these claims. This is due to its varied phytochemical composition and nutritional advantages. Hence, this re-view contributes to the knowledge of the health benefits and nutritional and phytochemical properties of B.sapida. Methods: An extensive literature s

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to determine and analyze the composition of Blighia sapida aril oil from Côte d’Ivoire and to compare its effects in diet to that of refined palm oil and olive oil.A quantity of dried Blighia sapida arils was ground to fine powder. Oil extracted from the powder was filtered and characterized. After that, three experimental diets differed by the type of oil which were mixed with the food (Blighia sapida aril oil or refined palm oil or olive oil) were prepared. Three groups of young rats (six per group) were fed ad libitum with the different diets during 28 days. At

Abstract:
The biosynthesis of nanoparticles has been proposed as a cost effective and environmentally friendly alternative to chemical and physical methods. The present work investigates the synthesis of titanium oxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) by green approach using Strychnos spinosa and Blighia sapida leave extracts. The detailed characterization of the TiO2 NPs was carried out using UV-Visible Spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X- ray Diffraction (XRD), and Fourier-Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy. The green synthesized TiO2 NPs excitation was confirmed using UV–Vis spectrophotom

Abstract:
Blighia sapida is widely used in traditional medicine for the treatment of several diseases in Togo. This study aimed to assess the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of Blighia sapida. To this end, a phytochemical screening was carried out, followed by an assessment of DPPH, total antioxidant capacity, ex vivo lipoperoxidation tests on Sprague Dawley rats, and an evaluation of anti- inflammatory activity by the egg albumin denaturation test. The leaves extract scavenged the DPPH free radical with an IC50 of 172 ± 0.577µg/mL and its total antioxidant capacity value was 40.174 ± 0.638

Abstract:
This study aims to optimize the production of biodiesel from Blighia sapida (Ackee) seed oil, a non-edible and underutilized feedstock, as a sustainable alternative to conventional fossil-based diesel fuels. The transesterification of Blighia sapida seed oil was optimized using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) with a Box–Behnken experimental design. Three process variables, reaction time, temperature, and methanol-to-oil molar ratio, were selected for modeling biodiesel yield. The resulting biodiesel was characterized by physicochemical properties in accordance with ASTM D6751 standards. The

Sun-dried B. sapida aril flour had significantly higher protein and fat content compared to the oven-dried flour. In addition, sun-dried B. sapida aril flour contained a more diverse phytochemical profile compared to the oven-dried flour. However, oven-dried B. sapida aril oil (ODAO

Abstract:
Diplodia pinea causes Diplodia tip blight on more than 30 different pine species. During the past 10 years, Diplodia tip blight has emerged as a serious problem in landscape and Christmas tree farms in this region. Surveys of diseased and symptomless Austrian pines revealed that latent infections of symptomless shoots by D. pinea were common. Latent infections may account for the recently observed rapid decline of mildly diseased pines in our region. To investigate the colonization habits of D. pinea within its host, molecular cytology was attempted and traditional histology was performed on n
