Characteristics, Composition And Oxidative Stability Of Lannea Microcarpa Seed And Seed Oil, Patrice Bazongo, Søren Nielsen, Adama Hilou, Mamoudou H. Dicko Prof., Vijai K. S. Shukla

Pr. Mamoudou H. DICKO, PhD

Proximate composition of seeds and main physicochemical properties and thermal stability of oil extracted from Lannea microcarpa seeds were evaluated. The composition of the seeds was: ash (3.11%), crude ol (6.90%), protein (21.14%), total carbohydrate (10.85%) and moisture (3.24%). Physicochemical properties of the oil were: refractive index, 1.473; melting point, 22.60°C; saponification value, 194.23 mg of KOH/g of oil; iodine value, 61.33 g of I2/100 g of oil; acid value, 1.21 mg of KOH/g of oil; peroxide value, 1.48 meq of O2/kg of oil and oxidative stability index, 43.20 h. Oleic (43.45%), palmitic (34.45%), linoleic (11.20%) and stearic (8.35%) acids …


Proximate Composition Of Traditional Local Sorghum Beer “ Dolo ” Manufactured In Ouagadougou, Fatouma Mohamed Abdoul-Latif, Mamoudou H. Dicko Prof. Mar 2013

Proximate Composition Of Traditional Local Sorghum Beer “ Dolo ” Manufactured In Ouagadougou, Fatouma Mohamed Abdoul-Latif, Mamoudou H. Dicko Prof.

Pr. Mamoudou H. DICKO, PhD

Dolo is a local beer manufactured from malted red sorghum grains. It is the most commonly consumed alcoholic beverage in Burkina Faso. Thirty samples of dolo, were collected from local markets in Ouagadougou and analyzed with respect to their proximate compositions and pH values. The average values of pH, dry matter and insoluble matter among samples were 3.5, 5.90 % and 0.85 %, respectively. Alcohol content of dolo samples was on average 2.3 % (v/v). The content of total proteins, carbohydrates and reducing sugars were 26, 38 and 10 µg/ml, respectively. Only traces of lipids were detected in all dolo …
