ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was the determination of the biochemical and nutritional characteristics of Myrianthus arboreus pulp and almonds. Results showed that the fruits of Myrianthus aboreus, possessed enormous nutritional and energetic potential due to its biochemical composition. In fact, they contain satisfactory proportions of carbohydrates, fat and protein, both in the pulp and in almonds. In addition, phosphorus, potassium, calcium and magnesium, essential for the body were encountered. The most important amino acids were aspartic acid (0.66 ±0.01 to 17.26 ±0.05 mg/100g), cysteine (3.42 ±0.02 to 5.62 ±0.03mg/100g), isoleucine (1.12 ±0.1 to 6.3 ±0.05 mg/100g), methionine (0.2 ±0.01 to 2.58 ±0.06 mg/100g) and serine (5,15 ±0,05 to 5,59 ±0,03mg/100g). These nutrients would therefore give them advantages for their application in the food industry. Finally, taking into account their lipid content, the almonds of Myrianthus aboreus would constitute a good source of exploitable lipid.
