Abstract: Herein the baobab fruit pulp analysis was carried out to evaluate the proximate composition, vitamin C and mineral elements content. The proximate analysis of the pulp revealed a low crude protein content (2.38 ± 0.70 %), crude fat (0.52 ± 0.28 %), moisture (8.75 ± 1.07 %) and high carbohydrate content (77.47 ± 1.08 %), relatively high ash content (5.83 ± 0.87 %) and crude fiber (5.05 ± 0.97 %). A high content of vitamin C was observed (263.27 ± 24.07 mg/ 100 g). The elemental analysis showed that potassium is the most abundant element in the baobab fruit pulp (586.01 mg/ 100 g), followed by calcium (344.07 mg/ 100 g), magnesium (196.37 mg/ 100 g), sodium (5.99 mg/ 100 g), iron (4.81 mg/ 100 g), manganese (0.88 mg/ 100 g) and copper (0.60 mg/ 100 g). The present study shows that the baobab fruit pulp is very rich in vitamin C, carbohydrate, fiber and essential minerals, thereby demonstrating that baobab pulp could contribute to meet the recommended daily intakes of these nutrients

Recently, the demand for seeds has increased as a source of oils. Adansonia digitata L (Malvaceae) seed oil has been utilized by some African communities as food, traditional medicine and cosmetic. This research was conducted to draw attention to the proximate composition, mineral elements content of baobab seeds and physicochemical properties of baobab seeds oil. Standard analytical methods were used to estimate the proximate and mineral element’s content of Adansonia digitata L. seeds and the seeds oil was evaluated for its physicochemical characteristics. Baobab seeds were found to be a good source of energy (374.23 ± 1.55 kcal/100 g), protein (21.20 ± 0.56%), and crude fat (21.23 ± 0.15%). The other proximate composition of the seeds were as follows; moisture (6.35 ± 0.05%), ash (3.27 ± 0.06%), crude fiber (23.37 ± 0.25%) and carbohydrate (24.32 ± 0.25%). The major mineral elements present in the seed involved magnesium (86.92 1.24 mg/100g), potassium (36.36 0.22 mg/100g), sodium (22.56 0.12 mg/100g), calcium (6.10 0.15 mg/100g) and iron (2.45 ± 0.02 mg/100 g). The physicochemical properties of extracted seed oil had the following values: oil content 21.23 ± 0.15 %, density 0.95 ± 0.007 g cm-3 , kinematic viscosity 46.05 cSt, acid value 3.08 ± 0.25 mg KOH g-1 , saponification value 95.37 ± 0.86 mg KOH g-1 , peroxide value 6.60 ± 0.04 mEq kg-1 and iodine value 80.29 ± 0.07 mg g -1 . Fatty acid profile of the oil revealed high unsaturated fatty acids contents (34.73% Elaidic acid and 28.95% 8, 11- Octadecadienoic acid), whereas palmitic was the major saturated acid (23.74%). Therefore our analytical results revealed that baobab seed is a good source of energy and nutrients for human nutrition
