Evaluation of Antinutritional and Amino Profile of Selected Accessions of African yam bean (Sphenostylis Stenocarpa) from IITA, Ibadan:- Onyeji, Chinazaekpere D
ABSTRACT
This study shows the
anti-nutritional factors and amino acid profiles of selected accessions of African
yam bean (Sphenostylis stenocarpa). As an underutilized legume with high
nutritional potential, the African yam bean could contribute to food security,
but its antinutritional compounds limit nutrient absorption. This research
analyzes key anti-nutritional factors—tannins, phytates, and saponin, using
standard biochemical techniques, while the amino acid profiles are assessed to
determine the protein quality of the beans. The results reveal considerable
variation among accessions, with some showing reduced levels of antinutritional
factors and a more favorable amino acid composition. These findings highlight
the potential of certain accessions for improving the nutritional quality of
diets and promoting the wider use ofAfrican yam bean in Nigerian agriculture
and food systems.
