Abstract

Background: Fruit seeds are part of the residues of fruit that can be used for their nutritional, functional and/or medicinal properties. This study was aimed at assessing the nutritional composition and anti-nutrient factors of canistel (Pouteria Campechiana (Kunth) Baehni) seeds collected in the central region of Cameroon. Methods: Canistel seeds were obtained from fresh fruits and dried. Dried seeds were reduced into powder and used to determined carotenoids, vitamin C, minerals, proximate composition as well as anti-nutrients through standard methods. Results: Chemical analyses on the canistel seed samples showed they contain ash (1.91 ± 0.08 mg/100g), protein (7.66 ± 0.28 g/100g), lipid (7.61 ± 0.04 mg/100g), carbohydrate (6.51 ± 0.45 mg/100g), minerals, vitamin C (17.60 ± 2.26 g/100g), carotenoid (56.76 ± 0.00 mg/100g), fewer anti-nutrients (oxalates, phytates, tannins and saponins) and are rich in fibers (13.26 ± 0.71 mg/100g). Conclusion: Pouteria Campechiana (Kunth) Baehni) seeds are a good source of fibers and contain proteins, fats and carbohydrates. The micronutrients, Ca, Mg, K, Na, Fe and vitamin detected in the flour sample revealed the nutritional benefits of the seeds for human consumption.
