Modern Methods of Preparation
Screened hydrocolloids from 7 tropical species (Triumfetta cordifolia, Bridelia thermifolia, Irvingia gabonensis, Beilschmiedia obscura, Ceratotheca sesamoides, Adansonia digitata, and Corchorus olitorius) for synergistic interactions with alginate in dilute aqueous solution. Nkenmogne Kamdem 2020
An aqueous extract of baobab (Adansonia digitata) seedcake prepared by a particular patented extraction process, named plant small RNA (PSR) technology, was effective in supporting collagen expression in ex vivo skin as well improving different markers of senescence in skin fibroblasts. Oger 2019
Optimized ultrasound-assisted extraction of phenolic compounds in Adanonia digitat seeds. Ismail 2018
Synthesized a narrow range of silver nanoparticles from Adansonia digitata fruit pulp extract and validated its potential antimicrobial activity on different microorganisms. Kumar 2016
Baobab fruit pulp at 4% promoted growth of L. rhamnosus yoba with a maximal specific growth rate in a traditional dish of south Africa called mutandabota. Mpofu 2014
As a suspending agent, mucilage from the leaves of Adansonia digitata has shown comparable results with sodium carboxy methyl cellulose. Deshmukh 2013
Fermentation of baobab decreased protein and carbohydrate but increased fat levels. It had varied effects on the mineral concentrations. Fermentation reduced their antinutrients (phytate and tannins), decreased pH, and increased the titratable acidity of the samples. Nnam 2003
Investigation of the effects of various processing techniques on nutrient composition & anti-nutritional factors in baobab seeds (Adansonia digitata) & locust beans indicates that the alkali treatment appeared to be the most effective method for reducing trypsin inhibitor and tannin contents. Addy 1995
A new excipient in pharmaceutical formulation of theophylline tablets of the hydrophilic matrix type: the pulp of the baobab fruit (Adansonia digitata L.) [Article in French] [No abstract] Arama 1988
