Modelling and optimisation of ultrasound-assisted extraction of roselle phenolic compounds using the surface response method.

Extracts from Hibiscus sabdariffa L. (roselle) have been used traditionally as a food, in herbal medicine, in hot and cold beverages, as flavouring or coloring agent in the food industry. In vitro and in vivo studies and trials provide evidence, but roselle is poorly characterised phytochemically due to the extraction processes.

Correlating the morphology of L. fruits from 30 orchards with their physicochemical and nutritional properties.

Cashew ( L.) is a cross-pollinating plant whose fruit consists of two parts, the nut, and the apple. This study aimed to carry out agro-morphological characteristics of cashew fruits to establish relationships with their physicochemical and nutritional properties.

Comparison of Proximate and Phytonutrient Compositions of Cashew Nuts and Apples from Different Geographical Areas of Burkina Faso.

The cashew plant is an allogamous plant that produces two types of fruits: the nut and the cashew apple. The present study was conducted to perform a comparison of proximate and phytonutrient compositions of cashew ( L.) nuts and apples from different geographical areas of Burkina Faso.

Evaluation of the physicochemical parameters of edible oils sold in the three cities of Burkina Faso.

The edible oil needs of African countries are met by imported or locally produced ones. Therefore, consumers are generally confronted with a choice of edible oils of poorly controlled quality. However, quality control of edible oils for local consumption is of high necessity.
