Abstract The polyphenols, antioxidant activities and antinutrients in Acacia seeds of different species, growing locations harvest years were characterised this study. main phenolic compounds 6-hydroxy-2-methylindole 2,2′-methylenebis(6-tert-butyl-methylphenol). total flavonoid contents the free polyphenol fractions positively correlated, while content ABTS, DPPH ORAC bound negatively correlated. There no differences trypsin chymotrypsin inhibition across all seed batches. lowest phytate...
Seeds of the species Acacia retinodes, A. provincialis, and tenuissima) from different growing locations were analysed for their mineral composition, free bound polyphenols, flavonoids. Previous research has studied these compounds in only a limited number species, one study reports significant differences between three species. All rich potassium (353 - 427 mg/100 g), sodium (14 240 g) iron (7 8 g). The polyphenol extracts all had higher total phenolic content, flavonoid content antioxidant...
Summary Three different Acacia seeds ( A. retinodes , provincialis and tenuissima ) harvested from locations in years were analysed for their variations proximate mineral composition. Results showed no one species had the highest content across all analyses, example, Harmans 2020 ash (3.7%), 2022 protein (31.3%), Hindmarsh fat (18.5%) Tarrington magnesium (469 mg/100 g). Principle component analysis was carried out to determine effect of species, harvest on chemical A biplot first two...
