摘要: This review concerns three legume trees (family Fabaceae, subfamily Caesalpinioideae) from West Africa, namely Detarium microcarpum, Parkia biglobosa and Dialium guineense, illustrates their nutritional value therapeutic properties. These species are an important source of nutrition for African populations, but agricultural exploitation is still incomplete. The survey was conducted on Scopus, Web Science, Medline, using scientific common English names the as keywords then selecting papers related to medicinal Main food products fruit pulp seeds, though leaves can also be used. Most relevant dietary features high protein, vitamin, micronutrient contents. Various benefits these plants have been documented by ethnobotanical experimental studies, stimulating interest possible use functional or drug sources. studied properties include antidiabetic antimicrobial activities D. cardiovascular protective P. biglobosa, bilharzia-preventing molluscicidal activity guineense. Phytochemical characterizations revealed potential sources active drugs, such guineense saponins microcarpum diterpenes. Scientific results support popular uses trees, indicating a prominent health value.
