The results revealed that the seeds had high protein (6.5\u201324.2%), fat (19.0\u201358.5%), mineral (Mg, Fe, Zn, Mn, Ca, Na, K, P) and phytate (1043.6\u20132905.2 mg\/100 g) contents, while the cyanide content was low (3.7\u20136.4 mg\/kg). However, Co, Pb and Ni were not detected in all the samples. The calculated [Ca] [phytate]\/[Zn] molar ratios (which is the best index for predicting Zn bioavailability) for all the seeds revealed that <jats:italic>Parkia biglobosa, Irvingia gabonensis<\/jats:italic> and<jats:italic> Prosporis africana<\/jats:italic> had a calculated molar ratio above 0.50 mol\/kg (critical level), thus indicating reduced bioavailability of Zn to a critical level. In view of the high fat, protein, mineral and low cyanide contents, the high phytate content would not be expected to reduce bioavailability of Zn in some of the wild seeds (<jats:italic>Afzelia africana, Pentaclethra macrophylla<\/jats:italic> and<jats:italic> Monodora myristica<\/jats:italic>). These wild seeds could be good nutrient sources if integrated fully into human and animal nutrition. However, further studies will be carried out on the protein quality and toxicological potentials of these wild seeds.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/food.200200254","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,4,1]],"date-time":"2004-04-01T11:07:17Z","timestamp":1080817637000},"page":"85-87","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Nutritional evaluation of some Nigerian wild seeds"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"48","author":[{"given":"Ganiyu","family":"Oboh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.
