Antinutrients and heavy metals in new Nigerian Musa hybrid peels with emphasis on utilization in livestock production

Open access

Abstract

Fruits, vol. 63 (2) 65Antinutrients and heavy metals in new Nigerian Musa hybrid peels with emphasis on utilization in livestock production. Abstract --Introduction.A comparative study of antinutrients and heavy metals in the peels of five improved varieties of plantain and banana hybrids was investigated.Our aim was to provide information on plantain and banana peels that may circumvent huge losses during fruit processing by converting waste into wealth and health.Materials and methods.Four new plantain hybrids developed at the IITA, Nigeria, named PITA 14, PITA 17, PITA 24 and PITA 26, one cooking banana hybrid (BITA 3) and an African plantain landrace, Agbagba, were investigated.Antinutrient and heavy metal contents of the dried peels from the different cultivars were determined and the data were statistically analyzed.Results and discussion.The plantain hybrid PITA 14 differed significantly from other cultivars in saponin, tannin and oxalate.A significant difference was observed between PITA 17 in phytate compared with other cultivars.Cyanogenic glucosides found in PITA 17, PITA 26 and BITA 3 differed significantly from the values obtained in other cultivars.Both BITA 3 and Agbagba are significantly different from other cultivars in phenolic content, while PITA 24 and Agbagba differed significantly from other cultivars in lead.PITA 24 peels differed significantly from other cultivars in cadmium, but no significant difference was found among the different Musa varieties in mercury.Conclusion.In spite of the antinutritional properties ascribed to the various constituents investigated, the levels found in the peels of new Musa hybrids suggest that new varieties might not constitute a health hazard when ingested.Plantain and banana peels may be converted into livestock feeds, which will eventually provide protein and other nutrients to humans from consumption of meat and other products derived from the animals.Nigeria / Musa / fruit peels / antinutritional factors / chemical composition / heavy metals / cyanogenic glucosides / health hazards Substances antinutritionnelles et métaux lourds dans la peau des bananes de nouveaux hybrides nigérians potentiellement utilisables en production animale.Résumé --Introduction.Une étude comparative des substances antinutritionnelles et des métaux lourds dans la peau de cinq variétés de plantain améliorées et hybrides de bananier a été effectuée.Notre but a été de fournir des informations sur la peau de plantains et bananes, qui pourraient limiter les énormes pertes occasionnées par la transformation des fruits en convertissant ces pertes en profits et santé.Matériel et méthodes.Quatre nouveaux hybrides de plantain (PITA 14, PITA 17, PITA 24 et PITA 26) développés à l'IITA, au Nigéria, un hybride de banane à cuire (BITA 3) et un plantain local africain, Agbagba, ont été évalués.La teneur en substances antinutritionnelles et en métaux lourds a été déterminée dans la peau sèche des différents cultivars et les données ont été statistiquement analysées.Résultats et discussion.La peau de l'hybride de plantain PITA 14 a différé de manière significative des autres cultivars en saponine, tannin et oxalate.Par rapport aux autres cultivars, PITA 17 a présenté une amélioration en phytate.Les glucosides cyanogéniques trouvés dans la peau de PITA 17, PITA 26 et BITA 3 ont différé de manière significative des valeurs obtenues dans les autres cultivars.BITA 3 et Agbagba se sont démarqués par leur teneur en phénols, alors que PITA 24 et Agbagba ont différé de manière significative des autres cultivars pour leur teneur en plomb.La peau de PITA 24 a eu la plus forte teneur en cadmium, mais aucune différence significative n'a été trouvée parmi les différentes variétés de Musa quant à leur teneur en mercure.Conclusion.Malgré les propriétés antinutritionnelles attribuées aux divers constituants étudiés, leur niveau trouvé dans la peau des fruits de nouveaux hybrides de Musa suggère que leur ingestion ne pourrait pas constituer un risque sanitaire.Les épluchures de plantains et de bananes peuvent être converties en aliments pour le bétail qui fourniront par la suite des protéines et d'autres éléments à l'homme par consommation de la viande et d'autres produits dérivés des animaux ainsi alimentés.Nigéria / Musa / pelure de fruits / facteur antinutritionnel / composition chimique / métal lourd / glucoside cyanogène / danger pour la santé

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
