The pulp of the African pear, Dacryodes edulis, was investigated for its nutritional quality and oil characteristics. The crude protein, fat, fibre and carbohydrate contents were 25.9,31-9, 17.9 and 13-5%, respectively. The pulp was found to contain significant levels of Ca, Mg, K and P. The fatty a
Four essential oil samples obtained by hydrodistillation from the leaves of Microglossa pyrifolia (Lam.) O. Kuntze and Helichrysum odoratissimum (L.) Less., respectively, were analysed by GC and GCΒ±MS. The main constituents of the leaf oil of M. pyrifolia were found to be (E)-b-farnesene (78% and 73
