The nutritional evaluation of the Bambara groundnut Ci12 landrace (Vigna subterranea (L.) Verdc.) seeds produced in Côte d'Ivoire shows a 19% content of protein, containing all the essential amino acids with tryptophan as the limiting amino acid, a total dietary fiber level of 10%, with a low soluble fraction content, and a fat content of 1.4%, with a high proportion of total unsaturated fatty acids (61%) of which 36% were n-6 fatty acids. This legume contains phosphorus, as the major mineral, followed by magnesium and calcium, and trace elements (iron, copper and zinc). It is characterized by the same amount of α-tocopherol and antioxidant capacity as common legumes. The high concentration of essential amino acids, n-6 fatty acids and minerals, mainly Fe, in the Ci12 landrace of Bambara groundnut indicates that this local legume has the potentiality to improve the nutritional status in Côte d'Ivoire and it could be regarded as a nutrient dense food.
对在科特迪瓦生产的班巴拉花生Ci12地方品种(Vigna subterranea (L.) Verdc.)种子进行的营养评估显示,其蛋白质含量为19%,包含所有必需氨基酸,以色氨酸作为限制氨基酸;总膳食纤维水平为10%,可溶性部分含量较低;脂肪含量为1.4%,总不饱和脂肪酸比例较高(61%),其中36%为n-6脂肪酸。这种豆类含有磷(作为主要矿物质),其次是镁和钙以及微量元素(铁、铜和锌)。它具有与普通豆类相同量的α-生育酚和抗氧化能力。班巴拉花生Ci12地方品种中必需氨基酸、n-6脂肪酸和矿物质(主要是铁)的高浓度表明,这种当地豆类有潜力改善科特迪瓦的营养状况,可被视为营养密集型食物。
