Abstract
This study aims to comprehensively analyze the chemical composition of Detarium
microcarpum seeds, focusing on their proximate, mineral, vitamin, fatty
acid, and phytochemical profiles. Collected from the semi-arid regions of
northern Ghana, the seeds were subjected to a series of analytical methods to quantify
their nutritional and bioactive constituents. The findings reveal significant
levels of proteins, dietary fibers, essential minerals, and vitamins, alongside
a diverse range of fatty acids and phytochemicals, highlighting the seeds'
potential as a nutritional supplement and in food industry applications. The
study emphasizes the importance of exploring underutilized plant species for
food security and nutritional interventions in sub-Saharan Africa.
