Abstract:

The research affirmed that Cola nitida L. and Garcinia kola Heckel used in Nigeria are quite different medicinally and nutritionally. The proportions of all nutrients analyzed quantitatively (lipid, moisture, fibre, ash, and protein except carbohydrate) were greater in C. nitida than in G. kola Heckel (p<0.05). C. nitida has a lower energy density than G. kola Heckel (332.20 kcal/g vs 349.10 kcal/g sample) (p<0.05). Alkaloids, flavonoids, phenolics, and cardiac glycosides were all significantly greater in G. kola Heckel than C. nitida at p<0.05, in addition to saponin, tannin, and ste

Abstract:

Development of cheap and reliable diagnostics is pivotal in the control of infectious diseases. Currently, one of the best strategies to tackle infectious disease is the use of natural products from plant origin, due to the perception that long term use of western medicine induces severe complications and also to stop the prevalence of antibacterial infection. This study aims at substantiating the traditional use of selected medicinal plants with antibacterial claim for possible lead for the development of more potent drugs in the treatment of bacterial infections.

Abstract:

Twenty-three (23) kola genotypes from Côte d’Ivoire and Nigeria were assessed for their morphological traits. The objective of this study was to identify potentially promising genotypes for kola productivity improvement. This study highlighted the significant variations in phenotypic traits between the two origins, except for nuts length. Genotypes from Côte d’Ivoire produced large follicles with more nuts. Those from Nigeria have large leaves, thick cortex, and large but few nuts. Correlation analyses revealed complex relationships among these characteristics, potentially influencing yield. F

Abstract:

In Ivory Coast, the conditions of conservation and storage of kola nut promote enormous losses during its marketing. Indeed, the nut is attacked by weevils, diptera and fungi which cause between 30 and 70% of losses during storage. The objective of this study is to propose good practices for post-harvest conservation of kola nut, in order to reduce these enormous losses. Containers made of rattan basket lined with Thaumacoccus daniellii leaves, cardboard with food bag and potato net and PVC (polyvinyl chloride) were used and stored at different temperatures of 26°C and 29°C±1°C.
