detarium senegalense/carbohydrate

The bark extract of the medicinal plant Detarium microcarpum was analysed for its carbohydrate content by GLC-CIMS. Preparative HPLC of the benzoylated carbohydrate fraction led to the isolation of L-quino-1,5-lactone, D-(-)-bornesitol, D-pinitol, myo-inositol, sucrose, D-glucose, and D-fructose

The proximate composition and functional properties of Detarium microcarpum seed flour were evaluated. The dehulled seed flour contained 3.5% moisture, 3.5% ash, 2.9% crude fiber, 15% crude fat, 37.1% crude protein and 39% carbohydrate. Functional properties showed bulk density of 0.86 g/cm3 for

The effects of two vegetable flours, prepared from the African plants Detarium senegalense Gmelin, a legume, and Cissus rotundifolia, a shrub, on postprandial blood glucose and insulin concentrations in human subjects, were investigated. Chemical analysis indicated that these flours contained
